- study to evaluate effect of parathyroidectomy on metabolic abnormalities associated with CVD

- 34 Pt with HPT and 40 control patients with normal calcium assessed at baseline and 1 year later. HPT patients had parathyroidectomy

- significant decrease in DBP and insulin. significant increase in spine BMD

- no significant change in metabolic syndrome rate, insulin resistance, or likelihood of CVD risk
