Abstract Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (HsT) is one of the most frequently occurring autoimmune diseases, characterized by lymphocytic infiltration, destruction and fibrosis of thyroid tissue and the presence of antibodies to thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin. The effects of euthyroid Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (eHsT) on cardiovascular system are unclear. We aimed to identify if any deteriorations in LA and LV myocardial functions in patients with eHsT by 3D-STE in the current study. Fifty eight patients with eHsT and 60 age- and gender-matched controls were enrolled into the study. All participants underwent laboratory analyses which included thyroid hormones and thyroid autoantibody levels; and conventional 2D echocardiographic and 3D-STE analyses were performed. The mean age of the study patients was 34.5 ± 9 years, and 68.6% were female. Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) was significantly depressed in the eHsT (+) group than in the control group (− 15.3 ± 3.6 vs. − 22.8 ± 3.8, p
