Biopsy of an unsuspected phaeochromocytoma carries the potential risk of precipitating a catecholamine storm. |
The diagnosis of PPGL relies on biochemical evidence of excess catecholamine secretion and confirmation of tumor presence by imaging studies. |
In foals, noradrenaline is commonly the only catecholamine effective in treatment of hypotension. |
Apparently, oxidative stress activates the second gear system to decrease catecholamine production and damage by oxidative stress. |
Excess catecholamine levels play a role in causing white coat hypertension and hypertension in pheochromocytoma, OSA, and other diseases discussed in this article. |
Surgical stress can lead to catecholamine release, which increases cardiac contractility and heart rate. |
