Primary aldosteronism [PDF]

Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2011
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension, accounting for 10% of all hypertension. Far from being benign, hypertension due to PA is associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, PA is still underdiagnosed in general practice.

Activation of aldosterone secretion in primary aldosteronism [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1969
Angiotensin infusion evokes marked increases in aldosterone secretion in primary aldosteronism and little change in secondary aldosteronism. The low plasma renin activity of primary aldosteronism and the elevated plasma renin activity of secondary aldosteronism are thought to account for this differential response.

PRIMARY ALDOSTERONISM: CURRENT DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH

, 2022
Primary aldosteronism is characterized by aldosterone secretion that is independent of renin and angiotensin II. The deleterious effects of primary aldosteronism are mediated by excessive activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor that results in the ...

Adrenal vein sampling in differential diagnosis of primary aldosteronism on the example of a clinical case

, 2019
Primary aldosteronism is the most common cause of endocrine hypertension, occurring in 5–10% of patients with hypertension. Convincing evidence has been obtained indicating that primary aldosteronism increases the risk of cardiovascular complications ...

Myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency in primary aldosteronism

, 2021
BACKGROUND: Available data indicate that patients with primary aldosteronism have an increased risk of cardiovascular events and cardiovascular risk seems to be, at least in part, independent of blood pressure (BP) values.
