Hemodynamics associated with the diagnosis and treatment of pheochromocytoma in pregnancy

Am J Perinatol. 1992 Sep-Nov;9(5-6):464-6. doi: 10.1055/s-2007-999290.

Abstract

A pregnant woman with an undiagnosed pheochromocytoma is described. Her presentation at 29 weeks' gestation was consistent with preeclampsia. Noninvasive measurement of cardiac output and ambulatory monitoring of blood pressure provided data that facilitated making the appropriate diagnosis and managing the patient until delivery at term.
