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.

Abstract:Since its initial description in 1955, primary aldosteronism was thought to be a rare cause of hypertension. However, improved screening methods show that primary aldosteronism is a common form of secondary hypertension. Diagnosis of this disorder results in improved or cured hypertension or targeted pharmacotherapy. Patients with hypertension

Approaching the fiftieth year since its original description, primary aldosteronism is now thought to be the commonest potentially curable and specifically treatable form of hypertension. Correct identification of patients with primary aldosteronism requires that the effects of time of day, posture, dietary sodium intake, potassium levels and ...

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 ...

Clinical Management of Primary Aldosteronism: An Update
HYPERTENSIONDespite carrying an excess risk of cardiovascular events, primary aldosteronism (PA) is a commonly overlooked secondary form of arterial hypertension. An increased awareness of its high prevalence and broader screening strategies are urgently needed to ...

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 ...

Subclinical primary aldosteronism
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2012Screening for primary aldosteronism was historically recommended in patients with moderate to severe and/or resistant hypertension. Patients with mild hypertension and normotensive subjects were therefore excluded from the screening. However, a considerable number of normotensive individuals without hypokalaemia may have subclinical forms of primary ...

Primary aldosteronism remains a diagnostic challenge. Despite the availability of sensitive and specific immunoassay techniques, the simplification of diagnostic testing, and the introduction of sensitive imaging techniques, there remain uncertainties about the optimal methods of screening, the sensitivity and specificity of various tests, diagnostic ...

"Normotensive" Primary Aldosteronism
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1978Excerpt Hypokalemia and hypertension are the most important features of primary aldosteronism. In rare instances, patients with this disorder have normal serum potassium levels, but this is usually...
