Özet
Purpose: Recently, cardiovascular risk is thought to be increased in patients with nonfunctioning adrenal incidentaloma (NFAI). There are no sufficient studies in the literature to evaluate this situation in NFAI patients without cardiovascular risk. The objective of this study is to compare peripheral and central blood pressure and arterial stiffness between patients with NFAI and healthy volunteers (of a similar age, gender and body mass index as the NFAI group) who have no traditional cardiovascular risk factors and autonomous cortisol secretion, with pulse wave analysis (PWA). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated 35 NFAI patients who have no traditional cardiovascular risk factors and 35 healthy volunteers. PWA was performed in the participants of similar gender, age and body mass index, with a Mobil-O-Graph PWA/ABPM (I.E.M. GmBH, Stolberg, Germany) device. Radiological and biochemical data were obtained retrospectively in the NFAI group. Results: In our study, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), central SBP, central DBP, peripheral vascular resistance, augmentation pressure (AP), heart rate-corrected augmentation index (Aix@75) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) values were significantly higher in the NFAI group compared to the control group. In addition, peripheral and central blood pressure and arterial stiffness parameters were correlated with age and duration of NFAI diagnosis of more than 1 year. Conclusions: NFAIs are known as cardiometabolically innocent, but in our study, both peripheral and central blood pressure values and arterial stiffness parameters were negatively affected in patients diagnosed with NFAI who have no traditional cardiovascular risk factors. These patients are at risk of cardiovascular diseases.
