Objectivity endocrine disease diagnosis was based on correlative investigation: hormonal, imaging, electrophysiological and metabolic.

It emerged following conclusion with practical implications: early diagnosis of endocrine disease and the establishment of adequate etiological therapy, is the prerequisite for prevention and monitoring of cardiovascular complications.
