Hyperthyroidism basal metabolic rate formula

The formula for basal metabolic rate in hyperthyroidism is pulse rate + pulse pressure-111.

1. Pulse rate

is the number of pulses per minute. In hyperthyroidism, excessive thyroid hormone secretion can lead to hypermetabolism and increased cardiac excitability, resulting in increased pulse rate. Accurate measurement of pulse rate is very important for calculating basal metabolic rate.

2. Pulse pressure

is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In hyperthyroidism, systolic blood pressure increases due to increased cardiac output, while peripheral vasodilation causes diastolic blood pressure to decrease, which in turn increases pulse pressure. Changes in pulse pressure are also an important indicator of hyperthyroidism. The

approximate basal metabolic rate can be obtained by adding pulse rate and pulse pressure and subtracting 111. This formula is widely used in clinical evaluation of metabolic status in patients with hyperthyroidism, which helps to judge the severity of the disease and the effect of treatment. However, it should be noted that this formula is only an estimation method, and the actual basal metabolic rate may also be affected by other factors, such as individual differences and other diseases.
