Thyroid gland - connections

Thyroid gland ->

• Absorbs: Radioactive iodine (Amount: excessive; Condition: after nuclear fallout)
• Affect: Cardiac output (Timing: subsequently; Association: iodine)
• Affects: Cardiac function
• Causes: Right-sided cardiac insufficiency (Level: low; Modality: may; Relation: secondary; Exclusion: heart disease and diseases of heart-supporting organs)
• Contains: Tin (Polarity: negative; Scope: every examined victim; Context: accidental deaths)
• Control: Right side of cardiac output (Jointly: iodine)
• Controls: Right cardiac output (Degree: some)
• Distinguishes From: Iodine (Polarity: negative; Comparison: radioactive iodine)
