Abstract:
The association of diabetes mellitus to the coronary heart diseases has attracted the greatest attention of both clinical endocrinologists and cardiologists. However, the endocrine issue of cardiovascular system includes but is not only limited to diabetes, and its significance appears to be far much broader. Heart and vessels are also endocrine organs. Diseases of each axis of endocrine system are actually intimately related with the heart outcomes. Hence the cardiovascular endocrinology, as a special area with common interest of classical endocrinology, emerges and challenges our endocrine clinicians who are in the upstream in managing these diseases as well as in the forefront of active research in this area.
