Atrial fibrillation (AF) has the close relation to thyroid dysfunction and these two diseases lead to poor cardiovascular outcomes. But the prognostic value of thyroid diseases in AF remains unclear. We aimed to determine whether history of thyroid diseases is associated with risk of in-hospital cardiovascular outcomes in AF. ⋯ History of hypothyroidism was an independent protective factor, whereas history of hyperthyroidism was an independent risk factor for in-hospital cardiovascular outcomes in AF. Our study indicated that hyperthyroidism should be treated aggressively in order to improve the prognosis of AF.
