Primary aldosteronism

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 1995
The basic clinical pathophysiology of primary aldosteronism (PAL) was described by Conn in terms of autonomous production of aldosterone, secondary suppression of renin and development of hypertension with hypokalaemic alkalosis. Conn recognised a normokalaemic form of the syndrome and suggested that it might masquerade as essential hypertension and be

Primary aldosteronism

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2009
AbstractPrimary aldosteronism is the most common form of secondary hypertension. Case detection is based on an abnormal plasma aldosterone:plasma renin activity ratio and the diagnosis must be confirmed with an aldosterone suppression test. Subtype differentiation should be performed using adrenal venous sampling.

Primary aldosteronism

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2016
In 1955 Dr Jerome Conn first documented primary aldosteronism (PA). Since then, screening, diagnosis and treatment have developed, in the process both refining and complicating management. Currently, screening requires 4-6 weeks of lead-up, including major changes in antihypertensive therapy, followed by a blood draw for plasma aldosterone ...

Primary aldosteronism

Current Cardiology Reports, 2007
Primary aldosteronism is one of the few potentially curable forms of hypertension. This article highlights recent advances in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of this relatively common secondary form of hypertension. These topics include the recognition that this disorder is more prevalent than previously assumed, the identification of ...
