Abstract
Aims: There are conflicting data in the literature regarding whether there is an increased frequency of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP). In this study, we planned to investigate the frequency of CAD and hypertension (HT) in patients with PHP.
Methods: Patients with PHP aged 18 years and older who were admitted to the endocrinology clinic between September 2020 and February 2023 were included as the patient group, and age- and gender-matched individuals who presented with thyroid nodules between the same dates were included as the control group. A total of 217 patients, 114 with PHP and 103 as control group, were eligible for the study. The study was conducted as a retrospective data analysis and laboratory and demographic information of the patients and the control group were obtained from their files.
Results: Age and gender distribution of the patient group and the control group were similar (respectively; age: 55.6+12.9 years, 53.0+7.2 years, p=0.058, female/male distribution: 93/21, 80/23 p=0.48). The prevalence of HT and CAD was higher in the patient group (respectively; HT: 65.1%, 31.0%, p
