A Ten Year Overview of Adrenal Vein Sampling in Croatia: Insights and Outcomes

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is the gold standard for subtype differentiation in primary aldosteronism (PA), yet it remains technically demanding and resource intensive. However, data on long‐term performance, learning curves, and concordance with imaging in real‐world clinical practice are limited.

Hypokalemia and arrhythmias

The American Journal of Medicine, 1986
The focus of this article is hypokalemia, its electrophysiologic properties, and clinical arrhythmias. The effects of potassium on the electrophysiologic properties of the heart have been extensively studied and clearly are arrhythmogenic. Hypokalemia increases resting membrane potential and increases both the duration of the action potential and the ...

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–
