Heightened Cardiovascular Risk in Hypertension Associated With Renin‐Independent Aldosteronism Versus Renin‐Dependent Aldosteronism: A Collaborative Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background While both renin‐dependent and renin‐independent aldosterone secretion contribute to aldosteronism, their relative associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk has not been investigated.

A Rare Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma Detected by 68Ga-pentixafor PET-CT: A Case Report and Literature Review

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Context: Primary aldosteronism represents an important and common cause of hypertension and is characterized by autonomous aldosterone secretion that results in severe hypertension and hypokalemia.

New advances in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, 2020
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common form of endocrine hypertension. The diagnostic process of PA includes a screening test, confirmatory test, and subtype classification.

HCG-responsive aldosteronoma with transient secretion during pregnancy confirmed through HCG-stimulated adrenal venous sampling

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Primary aldosteronism can be regulated by the ectopic expression of G-protein coupled receptors in aldosteronomas or bilateral hyperplasias. We report a rare case of a young woman in whom 2 pregnancies were complicated by pre-eclampsia and 1 miscarriage.

Primary aldosteronism and obstructive sleep apnea: What do we know thus far?

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Both primary aldosteronism and obstructive sleep apnea are well-known causes of hypertension and contribute to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality independently.

Case report: Percutaneous adrenal arterial embolization cures resistant hypertension

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundPrimary aldosteronism is a common cause of resistant hypertension. Patients with primary aldosteronism due to aldosterone-producing adenoma are generally treated with unilateral adrenalectomy or medical therapy.

Advances in the biochemical diagnostics of primary aldosteronism: from immunoassays to steroidomics and proteomics

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Primary aldosteronism is the most common cause of secondary hypertension, yet most cases remain unrecognized and left without optimal treatment. The diagnostic inertia may be attributed to the lack of specific symptoms, insufficient awareness among ...
