Text: In the RAI group compared to the MMI-treated group during a mean of 14 years follow up, there were more incidences of elevated TSH [> 5 mU/L ; adjusted relative risk (RR) 1. 23 ; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1. 04-1. 47), increased triglycerides (> 150 mg/dL ; RR 2. 20 ; 95 % CI 1. 34-3. 62), HDL-C (< 40 mg/dL ; RR 3. 46 ; 95 % CI 1. 40 - 8. 53), and early diastolic annular velocity (< 12. 2 cm ; RR 3. 91 ; 95 % CI 1. 42-10. 74), in addition to a decreased early diastolic to annular velocity ratio (< 6. 7 ; RR 7. 14 ; 95 % CI 1. 38-34. 48).
