title: Clinical aspects of endocrine hypertension.
abstract: Distinct hypertensive syndromes clearly related to overproduction of certain hormones are increasingly being recognized. The ability to recognize these disorders has come as a result of better understanding of their pathophysiology and the availability of sensitive and accurate diagnostic tools. The particular appeal of making the diagnosis centers around the potential curability of the hypertension with correction of the hormonal abnormality.
