Cardiovascular Complications in Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma: Does Phenotype Matter?

CONCLUSIONS: We found a 28% incidence of cardiovascular complications in a consecutive group of patients with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. Patients presenting with a noradrenergic phenotype have a higher incidence of atherosclerotic complications, while the adrenergic phenotype is associated with a higher incidence of acute myocardial damage due to takotsubo-like cardiomyopathy.PMID:38152977 | DOI:10.1161/HYPERTENSIONAHA.123.21902
