Abstract
- Prolonged use of glucocorticoids is associated with an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality: hypertension and atheroma mainly. Severe cardiovascular complications of pulse corticosteroids are related to underlying comobidities and require some precautions. There are probably individual factors of complications associated with polymorphisms of the glucocorticoid receptor. Without clearly established recommendations concerning prevention of cardiovascular risk, screening and treatment of risk factors during treatment is the best prevention possible. Screening and treatment of cardiovascular complications require a just prescription and appropriate surveillance.<br /> (Copyright © 2012. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.)
