8Heart Disease
Many studies have revealed a direct association between parathyroid disease and heart disease. When your parathyroid gland is impaired or damaged, the level of calcium would increase and build up on the heart’s valves or in the blood vessels. Over time, these deposits would prevent electrical impulses from being transported to your heart. As a result, you might suffer from some problems with the cardiovascular system, such as high blood pressure, hardening arteries, enlarging heart, or coronary artery disease. In these cases, a parathyroid operation is often needed to improve these conditions. [8]
