Article Synopsis
- Recent evidence indicates that autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) is linked to a higher prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors compared to nonfunctioning adrenal adenomas (NFAAs).
- A literature review identified six relevant studies which highlighted that patients with ACS experienced more new CV events and higher CV mortality than those with NFAAs.
- Despite suggesting a greater risk of CV issues in ACS patients, the studies showed significant variability in definitions and lacked adjustments for confounding factors, necessitating more robust research to clarify these associations.
