“…These symptoms are caused by catecholamines, which induce vasoconstriction of the coronary arteries while simultaneously increasing myocardial oxygen demand through stimulation of heart rate and cardiac contractility. The presentation and electrocardiographic changes, such as ST-segment elevation or depression [69,71,72], negative T-waves, and a prolonged QTinterval (present in 7%-35% of patients [40,73]), may resemble those of patients with myocardial ischemia or infarction due to heart disease; however, patients with pheochromocytoma may also have other symptoms due to catecholamine excess, such as severe hypertension or headache, profuse sweating, or intense pallor. A history of episodic attacks is even more helpful.…”
