Effect of parathyroidectomy on subclinical cardiovascular disease in mild primary hyperparathyroidism

OBJECTIVE: We recently demonstrated that mild primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and stiffness, and increased aortic valve calcification. It is unclear whether parathyroidectomy (PTX) improves these abnormalities. The purpose of this...
