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 ...

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 ...

[Hyperaldosteronism].

Der Internist, 2021
Aldosterone is produced in the adrenal cortex and governs volume and electrolyte homeostasis. Hyperaldosteronism can occur either as primary aldosteronism (renin-independent) or secondary aldosteronism (renin-dependent). As the commonest cause of secondary hypertension, primary aldosteronism is associated with increased cardiovascular risk.

Vascular dysfunction and fibrosis in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats: the aldosterone-mineralocorticoid receptor-Nox1 Axis [PDF]

, 2017
Aims: We questioned whether aldosterone and oxidative stress play a role in vascular damage in severe hypertension and investigated the role of Nox1 in this process.

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”).

Familial Hyperaldosteronism Type 3 with a Rapidly Growing Adrenal Tumor: An In Situ Aldosterone Imaging Study

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2021
Primary aldosteronism is most often caused by aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and bi-lateral adrenal hyperplasia. Most APAs are caused by somatic mutations of various ion channels and pumps, the most common being the inward-rectifying potassium ...

The prevalence of resistant arterial hypertension and secondary causes in a cohort of hypertensive patients: a single center experience [PDF]

, 2017
The prevalence of resistant hypertension (RHT) still remains unknown. Aim of the study was to investigate in a large cohort of hypertensive patients the prevalence of RHT, and to identify in these patients the secondary forms of arterial hypertension (SH)
