What caused T.S.'s cardiac arrest? 3. Pheochromocytoma (tumor in the adrenal medulla) can cause sinus tachycardia (rapid heart rate) and hypertension. What causes the tachycardia? 4. G.K. had unexplained weight gain, fatigue, and was sensitive to cold. She was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Does G.K. have hyper- or hypothyroidism? Would she experience bradycardia or tachycardia? How would her condition affect metabolism? 5. Ca2+-channel blockers are a common medication used to treat high blood pressure.
