T3 and Heart Problems

Does anyone know of any research showing that T3 (in correct dose )isn’t bad for the heart?

I’m aware that over treatment of T4 or T3 can cause hyper symptoms including atrial fibrillation.

Low T3 is very bad for the heart, and in fact it can kill you.

You are so right. And it's something that Dr's *Must* know and practice with their patients. I had TT and experienced terrible palpitations and no Dr ever picked up that my FT3 was low. Dosing with T4 *Only* I am one of many that doesn't convert T4 to T3 well . Adding some NDT for my T3 mix made a *Huge* difference for me. The heart has T3 receptor sights.
