Preliminary Discussion on Acute and Chronic Poisoning and Hypertension

Poisoning can lead to organic and functional damages to organs and complications; hypertension is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases. Growing attention has been paid to the relationship between poisoning and hypertension, but the available literatures tend to focus on case reports. This review summarized the cases of hypertension induced by common toxicants via acute or chronic poisoning (including exposure factors). Pathogenesis, association, diagnosis, and treatment were also discussed.
