Surgically correctable hypertension
TTT
Renovascular hypertension: This condition may be treated through surgical procedures, such as angioplasty, stenting, or bypass surgery, to widen or bypass the narrowed or blocked renal artery.
Pheochromocytoma: This condition may be treated through surgical removal of the tumor, which can significantly reduce blood pressure levels.
Coarctation of the aorta: This condition may be treated through surgical procedures, such as open repair or endovascular repair, to widen or bypass the narrowed portion of the aorta.
Cushing's syndrome: This condition may be treated through surgical removal of the source of excess cortisol production, such as the adrenal gland or pituitary gland.
Sleep apnea: This condition may be treated through lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, quitting smoking, and avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bedtime, as well as the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices to keep the airway open during sleep.
Inv
Renovascular hypertension: This condition may be diagnosed through imaging studies, such as computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), to visualize the renal arteries and identify any narrowing or blockages.
Pheochromocytoma: This condition may be diagnosed through laboratory tests to measure the levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline in the blood, as well as imaging studies, such as CT or MRI, to locate the tumor.
Coarctation of the aorta: This condition may be diagnosed through imaging studies, such as echocardiography, CT, or MRI, to visualize the aorta and identify any narrowing.
Cushing's syndrome: This condition may be diagnosed through laboratory tests to measure the levels of cortisol in the blood, as well as imaging studies, such as CT or MRI, to locate the source of excess cortisol production.
Sleep apnea: This condition may be diagnosed through sleep studies, such as polysomnography, to measure breathing patterns and oxygen levels during sleep.
CP
Renovascular hypertension: This type of hypertension may cause headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and chest pain. In some cases, it may also lead to kidney damage and heart failure.
Pheochromocytoma: This condition can cause episodes of high blood pressure, sweating, headaches, and palpitations.
Coarctation of the aorta: This condition may cause headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and chest pain, particularly during physical activity.
Cushing's syndrome: This condition can cause weight gain, particularly in the face and abdomen, as well as muscle weakness, fatigue, and mood changes.
Sleep apnea: This condition may cause loud snoring, gasping for breath during sleep, and daytime sleepiness.
Types
Renovascular hypertension: This type of hypertension is caused by narrowing or blockage of the renal arteries, which can lead to increased blood pressure. Surgery to widen or bypass the narrowed arteries can help to lower blood pressure.
Pheochromocytoma: This is a rare tumor that secretes excessive amounts of adrenaline and noradrenaline, leading to hypertension. Surgical removal of the tumor can help to lower blood pressure.
Coarctation of the aorta: This is a congenital condition where there is a narrowing in the aorta, leading to increased blood pressure. Surgical repair of the narrowed area can help to lower blood pressure.
Cushing's syndrome: This is a condition caused by excess cortisol production, which can lead to hypertension. Surgical removal of the source of excess cortisol, such as an adrenal tumor, can help to lower blood pressure.
Sleep apnea: This condition can lead to hypertension due to repeated episodes of low O2 levels during sleep. Surgical procedures to treat sleep apnea, as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) or tracheostomy, can help to lower blood pressure in some cases.
Surgically correctable hypertension refers to high blood pressure that can be treated through surgical procedures. This type of hypertension is caused by specific underlying medical conditions that can be addressed through surgery.
