Systemic vs. local effects of glucocorticoids on the cardiovascular system. Systemic actions of glucocorticoids are associated with increased cardiovascular risk and are likely to promote cardiovascular disease development. Local effects on cells of the cardiovascular system may be mediated by glucocorticoid (GR) and/or mineralocorticoid (MR) receptors and could be predicted either to promote or oppose lesion development.
