Direct blood pressure monitoring in patients with pheochromocytoma. 1985

A Nomura, and H Yasuda, and K Kato, and H Shimono, and T Murakami, and M Minami, and S Takechi

In patients with pheochromocytoma, blood pressure was monitored continuously for 2 days using direct measurement techniques. Systolic blood pressure sometimes increased to more than 300 mmHg. These sudden elevations of blood pressure were associated with increased levels of plasma catecholamines. Pre-operative prazosin and propranolol therapy lowered mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure throughout the 2 day observation periods and was associated with decreased hematocrit levels. However, these agents did not prevent the rapid elevation of blood pressure.

D010673 Pheochromocytoma A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.
