In primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) an exact localization of the pathological parathyroid gland(s) is essential before minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. We have previously shown in a small group of pHPT patients, that 11C-methionine-PET/CT provides additional information if 123I/99m Tc-sestamibi (MIBI) scan remains negative. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical value of 11C-Met-PET/CT in a larger pHPT patie...

BackgroundAldosterone excess causes volume retention and cardiovascular damage. We evaluated the long-term haemodynamic changes in patients with targeted treatment of primary aldosteronism (PA) (n = 40) in comparison with essential hypertension (EH) (n = 40) and untreated normotensive controls (n = 40).MethodsPA patients were subjected to adrenal vein sampling and allocated to adren...
