  2. Turner syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turner_syndrome

    Women with Turner syndrome are more likely than average to have high blood pressure; as many as 60% of women with the condition are hypertensive. Isolated diastolic hypertension often precedes systolic hypertension in the condition and may develop at a young age. Treatments for hypertension in Turner syndrome are as in the general population. [17]

  3. May–Thurner syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May–Thurner_syndrome

    Because of its similarities to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), May–Thurner syndrome is rarely diagnosed amongst the general population. In this condition, the right iliac artery sequesters and compresses the left common iliac vein against the lumbar section of the spine, [5] resulting in swelling of the legs and ankles, pain, tingling, and/or numbness in the legs and feet.

    Korotkov described 5 sounds. Only the first (the onset of audible sound, and corresponding to systolic pressure) and the fifth (sound becomes inaudible, corresponding to diastolic pressure) are of practical clinical significance (however, see:Auscultatory gap) Kussmaul breathing [5] Adolph Kussmaul: endocrinology: metabolic acidosis

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terson_syndrome

    A subarachnoid hemorrhage brought on by a ruptured aneurysm, or less frequently, other forms of brain hemorrhages (such intracerebral or subdural hemorrhages), is usually the origin of the abrupt increase in intracranial pressure that frequently precedes the onset of Turner's syndrome. This rise in pressure causes intraocular hemorrhage ...

    The etiology may be congenital and idiopathic, posttraumatic, postinfection, iatrogenic, or secondary to a systemic disease such as cancer, sickle cell disease, pseudohyperparathyroidism, Turner's syndrome, Down syndrome, Apert syndrome, athyroidism, or osteodystrophy. [2] It most frequently involves the fourth metatarsal.

  8. Hypertensive emergency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertensive_emergency

    A hypertensive emergency is not based solely on an absolute level of blood pressure, but also on a patient's baseline blood pressure before the hypertensive crisis occurs. Individuals with a history of chronic hypertension may not tolerate a "normal" blood pressure, and can therefore present symptomatically with hypotension , including fatigue ...

  9. Primary aldosteronism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_aldosteronism

    Other medications for high blood pressure and a low salt diet, e.g. DASH diet, may also be needed. [1] [4] Some people with familial hyperaldosteronism may be treated with the steroid dexamethasone. [1] Primary aldosteronism is present in about 10% of people with high blood pressure. [1] It occurs more often in women than men. [5]
