Similar CV risk profiles support equivalent monitoring in NC-PHPT; leaves open whether targeted intervention improves outcomes.
Are cardiovascular risk factors and arterial rigidity similar between asymptomatic normocalcemic and hypercalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism?
Asymptomatic normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism carries a similar burden of cardiovascular risk factors and arterial stiffness as hypercalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism, suggesting its cardiovascular risk should not be underestimated.
Tordjman et al. (2010) studied this question.
