Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic pancreatitis: A prospective, longitudinal cohort study
Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that chronic pancreatitis (CP) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease independently of other major risk factors. We evaluated the risk of CV events in a well‐phenotyped cohort of patients with CP and its association with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) among other CV risk factors.
