title: Metabolic and cardiovascular impact of non-functioning adrenal adenomas: a clinical dilemma.
abstract: There is growing evidence suggesting a causative relationship between adrenal adenomas and metabolic and cardiovascular deteriorations. Although demonstrated frequently in subjects with subclinical Cushing Syndrome, subjects with non-functioning adrenal adenomas feature a variety of metabolic and cardiovascular consequences. In this review, current data regarding this issue and possible underlying mechanisms have been summarized.
