[Asymmetric septal myocardial hypertrophy associated with pheochromocytoma: reversibility of cardiopathy after extirpation of chromaffin tumor].
Left adrenal pheochromocytoma and mesenteric paraganglioma were diagnosed in a 52-year-old female with diabetes mellitus (fasting blood glucose 14.5 mmol/l), hypertension and myocardial asymmetric septal hypertrophy (septal/left ventricular free wall thickness 1.31). Carbohydrate metabolism and cardiac disease returned to normal after the resection of both tumors (fasting blood glucose 5.2 mmol/l, septal/left ventricular free wall thickness 1.10). This is the first patient reported in the Spanish literature in whom asymmetric septal hypertrophy has been correlated with the hypersecretion of catecholamines.
