When thyroid function is increased, heart rate increases and the work load of the heart increases. In severe cases heart failure may occur. While in low output heart failure the extremities are cold, in high output failure due to increased thyroid function, the extremities of the limbs are warm.

Plaque regression can be demonstrated by ultrasound evaluation of the carotids which are easily accessible. Lower blood pressures mean lower workload for the heart and lower risk of left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure. Regular exercise can bring down the blood pressure in the long run.

Lower energy side beams of ultrasound known as sidelobes can reflect off lateral structures and get mapped to the central image, causing sidelobe artefacts. Multiple reflections from strong reflectors of ultrasound like pericardium and pleura can cause mirror images of structures being imaged.
