Qin L, et al. - The lipid profile along with the pathogenetic role of LDL-c on hypertension was analyzed by authors in patients with Cushing's disease (CD) referred to Huashan Hospital for evaluation and diagnosis of CD from January 2012 to December 2013. They also explored the association between lipid profile and blood pressure in CD subjects. Obtained data exhibited an independent relation between lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients with CD.A link was disclosed between SBP values and lipids profile including CHO, TG, LDL-c, apolipoproteinA (apoA), apoB and lipoprotein(a) (LP(a)). Results depicted that LDL-c could serve as a pathogenic factor for hypertension in those patients.
