Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endocrine hypertension accounts for 10% of secondary causes of hypertension, and it can be diagnosed in about 1% of all patients affected by arterial hypertension. Endocrine hypertension consists mainly of primary aldosteronism, hypercortisolism, pheochromocytoma, hyperparathyroidism, and thyroid dysfunctions. In endocrine hypertension, several hormonal mechanisms have been demonstrated to influence factors involved in blood pressure regulation, and pathological mechanisms enhanced by hormonal excess have been associated with the exaggerated organ damage seen in this form of hypertension. Endocrine hypertension is often associated with other metabolic disorders such as diabetes and dyslipidemia, which contribute to increased cardiovascular risk. New developments in the field of genetic and molecular biology have improved our knowledge of the hormonal mechanisms and pathophysiological pathways involved in endocrine hypertension, allowing us to hypothesize future better-tailored approaches. This Special Issue will update information about diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for dealing with endocrine hypertension and its related organ damage.
