See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In 1977 a single case report by How et al highlighted the possible coexistence of giant cell arteritis and hypothyroidism and suggested a common cause.We set up a study to assess whether this association between hypothyroidism and giant cell arteritis,and also polymyalgia rheumatica, existed and whether it might have an immunological basis.
