Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with increased prevalence of hypertension [1], left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) that is independent on the presence of hypertension, diastolic dysfunction, valvular and myocardial calcification [2] and alterations of rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system [3]. These abnormalities in part explain the increased cardiovascular mortality in patients with PHPT [4].
