Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how the COVID-19 pandemic affected blood pressure control in patients with hypertension using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM).
- Data were compared between two groups: patients measured before the pandemic and those measured during it, with a total of 704 pandemic patients and 916 prepandemic patients included in the analysis.
- Results showed that during the pandemic, patients had higher blood pressure readings and a greater prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension, highlighting the need for strategies to manage blood pressure during such crises.
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate left ventricular (LV) structure and function in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) patients before and after curative surgery.
Background: Data on catecholamine-induced effects on LV structure and function in patients with PPGL are limited and conflicting.
Methods: The study evaluated 81 consecutive patients with a PPGL, among whom 66 were evaluated 12 months after tumor removal.
Objective: Structural abnormalities in resistance arteries are a hallmark of patients with hypertension. In hypertensive patients with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma (PPGL), it is still a matter of debate whether structural vascular changes are because of elevated blood pressure (BP) or to toxic effects of elevated circulating catecholamines. Hence, the aim of our study was to assess whether catecholamine excess and/or elevated BP affect the structure of small retinal arteries in patients with catecholamine-producing tumors.
