It is well known that hypercortisolism is associated with increased morbidity and mortality caused predominantly by vascular and atherosclerotic complications. The effect of hypercortisolism on microvasculature is less known. The aim of this study was to evaluate skin microvascular reactivity (MVR) in relation to arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and other possible influencing factors (fibrinolysis, oxidative stress and endothelial function) in patients with Cushing&#14...
