Current issues in the presentation of asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism: proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop

TL;DR: This report summarizes data on traditional and nontraditional manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) that have been published since the last International Workshop on PHPT and concludes it is not possible to predict which patients with neuropsychological complaints or cognitive issues will improve after successful parathyroid surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carotid vascular abnormalities in primary hyperparathyroidism.

TL;DR: Measurements of carotid stiffness are associated with extent of PTH elevation, suggesting that those with more severe PHPT may have impaired vascular compliance and that PTH, rather than calcium, is the mediator.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropsychological Features in Primary Hyperparathyroidism: A Prospective Study

TL;DR: Mild PHPT is associated with cognitive features affecting verbal memory and nonverbal abstraction that improve after parathyroidectomy that were independent of anxiety and depressive symptoms and were not linearly associated with serum levels of calcium or PTH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiac Structure and Diastolic Function in Mild Primary Hyperparathyroidism

TL;DR: The data support an association between low vitamin D levels and the development of left ventricular hypertrophy in this disorder and suggest that disease severity may determine the presence of cardiac manifestations in PHPT.
