Hypercortisolism and Epicardial Adipose Tissue (Hyper-Cor)

Impact Hypercortisolism on Adipose Epicardial and on Myocardial Function

Identifying hypercortisolism patients at risk for cardio-vascular events despite biological cure, and determine which patients should be particularly followed. Hypercortisolic patients represent an ideal in vivo model to determine the interactions between glucocorticoids and ectopic fat development.
