“…More recently, studies have demonstrated the efficacy of using automatic oscillo-metric sphygmomanometers for determination of this index, because it is simples, low cost, and easy to use [ 29 ]. In particular, has been reported that the automated oscillometric measurement of ABI is a reliable and useful alternative to conventional eco-Doppler determination in the general population [ 30 ], and some authors [ 30 31 32 ] have reported that only one BP measurement is sufficient to perform the ABI determination as no additional advantages have been shown with a second or a third determination.…”

BackgroundCushing syndrome (CS) has been described as a killing disease due its cardiovascular complications. In fact, chronic cortisol excess leads to a constellation of complications, including hypertension, hyperglycemia, adiposity, and thromboembolism. The main vascular alteration associated with CS is atherosclerosis.MethodsAim of this study was to analyze carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and ankle-brachial index (ABI), two surrogate markers of subclinical atherosclerosis in a consecutive series of CS patients, compared to patients with essential hypertension (EH) and health subjects (HS).ResultsPatients with CS showed a significant increase (P<0.05) of cIMT (0.89±0.17 mm) compared to EH (0.81±0.16 mm) and HS (0.75±0.4 mm), with a high prevalence of plaque (23%; P<0.03). Moreover, CS patients showed a mean ABI values (1.07±0.02) significantly lower respect to HS (1.12±0.11; P<0.05), and a higher percentage (20%) of pathological values of ABI (≤0.9; P<0.03).ConclusionIn conclusion, we confirmed and extended the data of cIMT in CS, and showed that the ABI represent another surrogate marker of subclinical atherosclerosis in this disease.
