- Abstract
Long time seen as some rare forms, hypertension due to adrenal are certainly underdiagnosed in many parts of the world. In hypertensive patients with pheochromocytoma accurate diagnosis is often a challenge for general practitioner (and sometimes for cardiologist too) and the evolution and complications are often dramatic. Our group of 42 patients with pheochromocytoma generally confirmed the literature data, in terms of demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics. Hypertension was the central element in pheochromocytoma, with different relations between hypertensive profile and catecholamines levels. Regardless of the form (paroxysmal or permanent), hypertension was directly involved in the development of left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiac/cerebrovascular complications.
