Background: Possible Autonomous Cortisol Secretion (pACS) is a condition found in 1–29% of patients with adrenal incidentalomas. The diagnosis of pACS has been variably associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. However, dedicated studies describing the morphologic and functional cardiac alterations in these patients are lacking.Aim: To compare the cardiovascular features of patients with pACS to those with nonfunction...

Introduction: Low-grade incomplete post-dexamethasone cortisol suppression in patients with adrenal incidentalomas, recently redefined as possible autonomous cortisol secretion (pACS), has been associated with increased cardiovascular events and mortality. However, prospective studies documenting cardiac abnormalities in these patients are lacking.Methods: In the context of ERGO trial NIH (NCT02611258), between July 2016 and September 2017, 71 consecutiv...
