Adrenal Vein Sampling: Radiation Dose Reduction on New Angiography Platform

The Arab Journal of Interventional Radiology, 2020
Objectives: Primary aldosteronism is one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension. Distinguishing unilateral from bilateral disease is essential as those with unilateral adrenal disease will benefit from adrenalectomy. This is best achieved by

Surgery based on computed tomography images might be feasible for primary aldosteronism patients with visible unilateral adenoma

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2023
Primary aldosteronism (PA) with unilateral adrenal disease can be cured or improved by adrenalectomy. Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is recommended to identify patients for surgical management.

Primary Aldosteronism More Prevalent in Patients With Cardioembolic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
BackgroundPrimary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension, and patients are at an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke. We assessed the prevalence of PA in patients with recent stroke.MethodsWe recruited 300

Adrenal Venous Sampling for Subtype Diagnosis of Primary Hyperaldosteronism [PDF]

Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021
Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is the key procedure for lateralization of primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) before surgery. Identification of the adrenal veins using computed tomography (CT) and intraoperative cortisol assay facilitates the success of ...

Prospective validation of an automated chemiluminescence-based assay of renin and aldosterone for the work-up of arterial hypertension [PDF]

, 2016
Background:The availability of simple and accurate assays of plasma active renin (DRC) and aldosterone concentration (PAC) can improve the detection of secondary forms of arterial hypertension.

Coexistence of Primary Hyperaldosteronism and Graves’ Disease, a Rare Combination of Endocrine Disorders: Is It beyond a Coincidence—A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Case Reports in Endocrinology, 2017
Background. Primary hyperaldosteronism is a known cause for secondary hypertension. In addition to its effect on blood pressure, aldosterone exhibits proinflammatory actions and plays a role in immunomodulation/development of autoimmunity.

Alterations in vascular function in primary aldosteronism - a cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging study [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction: Excess aldosterone is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Aldosterone has a permissive effect on vascular fibrosis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) allows study of vascular function by measuring aortic ...

Negative findings in electronic health records and biomedical ontologies: a realist approach [PDF]

, 2007
PURPOSE—A substantial fraction of the observations made by clinicians and entered into patient records are expressed by means of negation or by using terms which contain negative qualifiers (as in “absence of pulse” or “surgical procedure not performed”).

Primary aldosteronism and coronary-pulmonary artery fistula: coincidence or causal link? A case report and literature review

Arterial Hypertension, 2021
BACKGROUND: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most frequent form of potentially reversible hypertension and coronary-pulmonary fistulas are increasingly recognized during routine coronary angiography or multidetector computed tomography for analysis of ...

Unilateral nodular adrenal hyperplasia: Case series

African Journal of Urology, 2016
Introduction: Nodular adrenal hyperplasia is one of rare causes of adrenocortical hyperplasia. The disease usually presents bilaterally. Few publications discussed the possibility of unilateral disease, in association with hyperaldosteronism or Cushing ...
