Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists and the Metabolic Syndrome [PDF]
Key components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), ie, obesity and insulin resistance, are associated with increased aldosterone production and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) activation. Both MetS and hyperaldosteronism are proinflammatory and pro-oxidative states associated with cardiovascular disease.

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist pattern of use in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction:findings from BIOSTAT-CHF [PDF]
Aims Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are recommended (unless contraindicated) to all patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, MRAs are still largely underused in routine clinical practice.

Heart failure: the role for mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists
Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA’s) have been shown to be effective in patients with HFREF while their role in patients with HFPEF remains controversial. Despite a class one indication in both the ESC and AHA/ACC heart failure guidelines
