Periaortic fat thickness and cardiovascular risk factors in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Our results provide further evidence of subclinical cardiovascular disease in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It is crucial to regularly assess cardiometabolic risk in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The measurement of periaortic fat thickness in this population may serve as a valuable tool for identifying individuals at high risk for developing early atherosclerosis.
