Özet

There is growing evidence suggesting a causative relationship between adrenal adenomas and metabolic and cardiovascular deteriorations. Although demonstrated frequently in subjects with subclinical Cushing Syndrome, subjects with non-functioning adrenal adenomas feature a variety of metabolic and cardiovascular consequences. In this review, current data regarding this issue and possible underlying mechanisms have been summarized. (C) 2013 European Federation of Internal Medicine. Published by Elsevier B.V.
