Rational drug therapy of chronic heart failure: the role of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists: review

open access: yesConsilium Medicum, 2022
Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are part of basic medical therapy for heart failure. The clinical efficacy of MRAs has been proven by randomized clinical trials. To review comparative efficacy and tolerability data between the two main MRAs,

Persistent hypoaldosteronism post-adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism – a role for pre-operative spironolactone?

open access: yesEndocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2021
Primary aldosteronism is one of the most common (affecting up to 10%) yet treatable causes of hypertension in our community, notable due to an associated elevated risk of atrial fibrillation, stroke and myocardial infarction compared to essential ...

Network meta-analysis of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists for diabetic kidney disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the major causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different types of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) in diabetic kidney disease patients, we conducted this ...

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Activation and Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist Treatment in Cardiac and Renal Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesHypertension, 2015
Cardiac and renal diseases remain major challenges for healthcare systems in developed countries and commonly coexist, with a disorder in the heart or kidney often leading to secondary dysfunction or injury in the other organ. Indeed, the term cardiorenal syndrome has been introduced to describe the broad spectrum of disease involving both the heart ...

Eplerenone in the Treatment of Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy

open access: yesCase Reports in Ophthalmology, 2015
Overactivation of mineralocorticoid receptor pathways has been implicated in the pathophysiology of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Recently, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists such as eplerenone have demonstrated success in treating ...
