Scottish Medical Journal

Abstract

Phaeochromocytomas are rare cause of secondary hypertension with significant morbidity and mortality, if left untreated. Paroxysms with hypertension are considered as "textbook" presentations but atypical forms represent considerable diagnostic challenge. We report an unusual association between phaeochromocyotoma and post-exertional malignant arrhythmia in a normotensive subject.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
