Implication
Baroreflex failure warrants consideration in extreme volatile hypertension; extends sparse case data but leaves optimal management open.

Population
2 patients with baroreflex failure presenting with profound chronic volatile hypertension documented over years.
Baroreflex failure can cause profound, volatile chronic hypertension with systolic readings up to 300 mm Hg, requiring challenging pharmacological management.
Cite This Study
Heusser et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Baroreflex failure (n=2). Baroreflex failure was evaluated on Blood pressure and muscle sympathetic nerve activity. Baroreflex failure in two patients resulted in profound chronic volatile hypertension with systolic readings up to 300 mm Hg and increased resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity.
