Hyper-Cor: Hypercortisolism and Epicardial Adipose Tissue
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- measuring the volume of epicardial adipose tissue, as measured by MRI to 3 Tesla. [36 months]
- Assess insulin resistance by the blood sugar and insulin levels [36 months]
- Assess cardiovascular risk by a blood complete lipid profile [36 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Assess insulin resistance by the blood leptin, adiponectin and omentin plasma level [36 months]
- Assess cardiovascular risk by the blood leptin, adiponectin and omentin plasma level [36 months]
