[Arterial hypertension associated with hyper and hypothyroidism].
45 patients with hyper and hypothyroidism in the time 1989-1990 were observed. The Graves' disease was diagnosed in 29 and rather in the younger patients, but 16 had the toxic nodular goiter and those were elderly. In 27 the hypertension was secondary (symptomatic) and after the successful treatment of the hyperthyroidism was completely controlled. In 14 cases the hypertension was primary (essential) and the application of the hypotensive drugs was also necessary. Among 4 patients with primary hypothyroidism and associated hypertension and coronary insufficiency the early treatment by the thyroid preparation was successful: the blood pressure was lowered and the coronary insufficiency was improved; but if the replacement therapy was stopped and the hypothyroidism was relapsed, the blood pressure was increases and the coronary insufficiency was aggravated.


CONCLUSIONS
1. The secondary (symptomatic) hypertension associated with the hyperthyroidism may be controlled by successful treatment of the thyrotoxicosis, but the primary (essential) must be treated by the hypotensive drugs also. 2. The early treatment of the hypothyroidism may control the associated hypertension and the coronary insufficiency. 3. Graves' disease is associated mostly with symptomatic hypertension, in nodular toxic goiter in most of the cases the essential hypertension was established.
