Abstract:
A 51-year-old woman suffered from an increase in body temperature from 37 degrees to 38.4 degrees C after physical exercise. She did not sweat. The patient also had labile hypertension with maximum values reaching 210/130 mmHg. Tests were carried out to explore the possibility of a link between the increase in body temperature and her hypertension. Evaluation of the patient's blood pressure and temperature changes after exercise and after environmental modification suggests a pathogenetic link between hyperthermia and hypertension.
