Screening for phaeochromocytoma in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease: Is it necessary?

CONCLUSION: We noted that CATS/METS were elevated in one-third of patients, especially in patients with high systolic blood pressure. Increase in CATS/METS should be appropriately followed up with repeat testing. Since false elevation in CATS/METS has been reported in cerebrovascular disease, screening for phaeochromocytoma is best deferred for a month. PMID: 32860372 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
