Abstract in brief

  • Cushing's syndrome results from excess cortisol, often secondary to other conditions, and is linked to significant cardiovascular issues that increase the risk of morbidity and mortality, even with treatment.
  • Cortisol excess causes various cardiovascular risk factors including high blood pressure, central obesity, insulin resistance, high blood sugar, hyperinsulinemia, and abnormal lipid levels, which collectively contribute to heart disease.
  • The review explores how cortisol impacts these risk factors at the tissue level, examines studies on cortisol's effects on blood pressure in different populations, and discusses how short-term cortisol increases can affect healthy individuals.
