Effect of Parathyroidectomy on cardiovascular risk factors in primary hyperparathyroidism: A randomised clinical trial.
CONCLUSION: PTX may decrease risk of cardiovascular diseases in PHPT by lowering total cholesterol levels, although ambulatory diastolic BP increases in response to surgery. Patients with moderate-to-severe hypercalcemia may benefit from PTX by a decrease in PWV.
