Aim: To investigate the relationship between the presence of subclinical target organ damage (STOD) and the levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) in hypertensive patients.Methods: The study included a total of 106 patients, 53 with STOD and 53 without STOD. STOD was deemed present if fundus examination revealed a grade 3–4 retinopathy; the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was >95 g/m2 in females and >115 g/m2 in m...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is associated with cardiovascular disease. In addition, data about cardiovascular abnormalities in patients with asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidsm (APHPT) is’nt clear. In this study, we aimed to examine the cardiac structure–functions and hs-CRP levels in patients with APHPT.Materials and method: Thirty-one patients with APHPT and 32 sex- and age-matched control cases with similar cardiac risk fac...
