Clinical Trial Summary

Within this trial, the cardiovascular and mental status as well as the metabolic profiles of patients with endogenous cortisol excess are evaluated.


Clinical Trial Description

Endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS) is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and reduced general health status. It has been shown that these impairments may be reversible after cure of hypercortisolism. However, previous studies were restricted to selected CV aspects. The primary aim of the CV-CORT-EX study is to comprehensively assess left ventricular function and morphology of patients with endogenous CS. Secondly, we examine long-term changes of CV function, endothelial function, psychosocial status, bio-impedance, and quality of life. Within the longitudinal study, patients will be investigated at initial diagnosis and at least 6 months after cure of CS. Within the cross-sectional study, we aim to comprehensively phenotype patients with endogenous CS and unknown CV disease. Results will finally be compared with healthy controls. ;
