TL;DR: In patients with Cushing's syndrome cardiovascular complications determine a mortality rate four times higher than in an age‐ and gender‐matched population, therefore, the global cardiovascular risk in patients with CS is calculated.

TL;DR: LCI699 was efficacious and well tolerated in patients with Cushing's disease enrolled in this proof-of-concept study; most adverse events (AEs) were mild or moderate.

TL;DR: Although unilateral adrenalectomy is preferred therapy for unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma or hyperplasia, MR blockade may be useful in cardiovascular diseases where ald testosterone levels are normal, and by spironolactone or eplerenone favorably affects cardiovascular outcomes.

TL;DR: A statistically significant different pattern of RET mutations in Italian MEN 2 families with respect to other European studies and a higher prevalence of FMTC phenotype is observed.

TL;DR: To carry out an OGTT to avoid underestimation of diabetes mellitus, an echocardiography and Doppler ultrasonography of the epiaortic vessels in all patients at diagnosis and during follow-up is suggested.
