Background-Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) often have low serum triiodothyronine (T-3) concentrations. In a rodent model of myocardial infarction-induced CHF and low serum T-3, we hypothesized that replacing T-3 to euthyroid levels would improve left ventricular function without producing untoward signs of thyrotoxicosis.Methods and Results-Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to left anterior descending coronary artery ligation (myocardial infarction). One week post-myocardial infarction, left ventricular fractional shortening was significantly reduced to 22 +/- 1% in CHF animals versus 38 +/- 1% for sham-operated controls (P
