Early Enteral Levothyroxine as Rescue Therapy in Cardiac Surgery Patients With Delayed Neurologic Recovery: A Randomized Trial.
Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia·May 11, 2026·PMID 42270554
Why it mattersDelayed neurologic recovery after cardiac surgery is a challenging complication with limited therapeutic options. This trial provides the first randomized evidence that low-dose enteral levothyroxine may accelerate neurologic recovery and improve hemodynamics in this high-risk group, offering a potential low-cost, accessible intervention.
