Abstract

Purpose

Patients with Cushing’s disease (CD) experience metabolic alterations leading to increased cardiovascular mortality. Recently, the visceral adiposity index (VAI) has been proposed as a marker of visceral adipose tissue dysfunction (ATD) and of the related cardiometabolic risk. We aimed to evaluate the impact of 12-month pasireotide treatment on cardiometabolic risk in CD patients.

Methods

This is a multicentre, prospective, and observational study. Sixteen CD patients, referred to the Endocrine Units of the University Hospitals of Messina, Napoli, Padova, and Palermo (Italy), successfully treated with pasireotide for 12 month have been enrolled. In all patients, we assessed anthropometric, clinical, and biochemical parameters and calculated VAI, ATD severity, Framingham, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk scores, before and after 6 and 12 months of treatment with pasireotide (1200–1800 mcg/daily).

Results

Before starting pasireotide treatment, ATD was present in 7/16 patients (mild in 2/16, moderate in 3/16, and severe 2/16). After 12 months of treatment: (i) 24h-urinary free cortisol levels (p = 0.003), BMI (p < 0.001), waist circumference (p = 0.001), LDL-cholesterol (p = 0.033), total-cholesterol (p = 0.032), triglycerides (p = 0.030), VAI (p = 0.015), and ATD severity (p = 0.026) were significantly decreased as compared to baseline; (ii) ATD was present in only 1/16 patients; (iii) prevalence of diabetes mellitus (p = 0.015) and HbA1c levels (p = 0.001) were significantly increased as compared to baseline; (iv) Framingham and ASCVD risk scores were not significantly different from pre-treatment values.

Conclusions

Twelve-month pasireotide treatment significantly reduces VAI and ATD in CD patients. These positive effects on cardiometabolic risk occur despite no change in Framingham and ASCVD risk scores and the increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus.
