    Author: Rhee SS, Pearce EN.
    Journal: Rev Esp Cardiol; 2011 Mar; 64(3):220-31. PubMed ID: 21330038.
    Abstract:
    Normal endocrine function is essential for cardiovascular health. Disorders of the endocrine system, consisting of hormone hyperfunction and hypofunction, have multiple effects on the cardiovascular system. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of disorders of the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands, with respect to the impact of endocrine dysfunction on the cardiovascular system. We also review the cardiovascular benefits of restoring normal endocrine function.
