NCT00636584

Brief Summary

Whether use of SNP during cardiac surgery has any effect on thyroid function has not yet been investigated in humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of SNP administration during the rewarming period of cardiac operations on circulating levels of thyroid hormones.
