Outcomes of Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism Admitted for Acute Heart Failure Exacerbation

Primary hyperparathyroidism is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease. It is related to hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, cardiac valvular abnormalities, arrhythmias, and heart failure. While primary hyperparathyroidism can lead to ventricular stiffness, coronary artery and valvular calcifications, we aim to investigate the effects of primary hyperparathyroidism on mortality and length of hospital stay in patients admitted for acute congestive heart failure exacerbation.
