Importance of Hypercortisolism in BP Control, Cardiovascular Risk and in Patients With Difficult‐to‐Control Hypertension: An Overview for Primary Care Physicians

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Hypertension remains one of the most prevalent and consequential modifiable cardiovascular risk factors worldwide, affecting approximately 1.28 billion adults globally and nearly half of the United States population.

Hypercortisolism: Causes, Consequences and Clinical Significance – A Review of Pathophysiology

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercortisolism or Cushing syndrome is a heterogeneous clinical spectrum caused by chronic glucocorticoid excess, ranging from exogenous Cushing syndrome to rare endogenous aetiologies and the increasingly recognised entity of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). Physiological cortisol production is tightly regulated by the hypothalamic–

How Common Is Hypercortisolism in Patients With Hypertension? Risk Factors, Epidemiology, and Making a Diagnosis

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endogenous hypercortisolism (EHC) is an underrecognised and clinically significant contributor to hypertension, particularly resistant hypertension. Once viewed as a rare entity, EHC is now understood as a spectrum of cortisol excess associated with adverse cardiometabolic outcomes and target‐organ damage.

Absence of Interaction Between 5α‐Reductase Inhibitors and Glucocorticoids on Incidence of Myocardial Infarction in People With Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims People with Type 2 diabetes experience higher cardiometabolic risk, and both synthetic glucocorticoids and use of 5α‐reductase inhibitors have been individually linked to increased risk of myocardial infarction. We tested whether the increase in risk is exacerbated by co‐prescription of both drugs.
