ABSTRACT

Cushing's syndrome is characterized by endogenous hypercortisolism that causes many different metabolic alterations increasing the cardiovascular risk at the active phase of disease and even after recovery. Central obesity, dyslipidemia, blood hypertension, insulin resistance, and glucose tolerance disorders (components of the metabolic syndrome) accelerate the process of systemic atherosclerosis. Excessive glucocorticoids also generate a prothrombotic condition with endothelial dysfunction. This leads to higher risk of myocardial infarction, heart failure, ictus and vein thromboembolic events. A fourfold increase of mortality has been estimated in these patients when compared to the general population; hence this disease may be considered a lethal one. In addition to the need of eliminating the cause of excessive glucocorticoids, it is recommended to evaluate the global cardiovascular risk and the intensive treatment for each of the risk factors during the active phase, in the remission period and after recovery. Taking into account the above-mentioned and the importance of this topic, an update on the cardiovascular impact of hypercortisolism was presented.
