The prevalence of resistant arterial hypertension and secondary causes in a cohort of hypertensive patients: a single center experience [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The prevalence of resistant hypertension (RHT) still remains unknown. Aim of the study was to investigate in a large cohort of hypertensive patients the prevalence of RHT, and to identify in these patients the secondary forms of arterial hypertension (SH)

Primary aldosteronism: Pathophysiological mechanisms of cell death and proliferation

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Primary aldosteronism is the most common surgically curable form of hypertension. The sporadic forms of the disorder are usually caused by aldosterone overproduction from a unilateral adrenocortical aldosterone-producing adenoma or from bilateral ...

Prospective validation of an automated chemiluminescence-based assay of renin and aldosterone for the work-up of arterial hypertension [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background:The availability of simple and accurate assays of plasma active renin (DRC) and aldosterone concentration (PAC) can improve the detection of secondary forms of arterial hypertension.

Cardiovascular risk markers in patients with primary aldosteronism: A systematic review and meta-analysis of literature studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background/objectives: Several studies reported an increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). We performed a meta-analysis on the impact of PA on major markers of CV risk. Methods: Studies on the
