In primary hyperparathyroidism parathormone (ΡΤΗ) is secreted autonomously and produce increase of calcium and decrease of phosphorus in the serum of the affected patients.In this study the newer facts in the medical literature about the influence of primary hyperparathyroidism in cardiovascular system are presented. Big studies have investigated the role of several factors affected in primary hyperparathyroidism. It seems that the increase of PTH affects the cardiovascular system in various ways. But there is a debate about the mild cases of hyperparathyroidism and short-standing disease.
