Genetics of Primary Aldosteronism
Primary aldosteronism is considered the commonest cause of secondary hypertension. In affected individuals, aldosterone is produced in an at least partially autonomous fashion in adrenal lesions (adenomas, [micro]nodules or diffuse hyperplasia). Over the

Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Aldosteronism in 2017: Did We Achieve Our Goals? [PDF]
For many decades primary aldosteronism (PA) was dismissed as a rare endocrine condition, but is nowadays widely accepted as the most frequent endocrine cause of hypertension, largely due to the widespread use of the aldosterone-to-renin ratio as a ...

The Unrecognized Prevalence of Primary Aldosteronism
Background: Primary aldosteronism is a nonsuppressible renin-independent aldosterone production that causes hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Objective: To characterize the prevalence of nonsuppressible renin-independent aldosterone production, as

Outcomes of a Specialized Clinic on Rates of Investigation and Treatment of Primary Aldosteronism.
Importance Primary aldosteronism (PA) is one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension but remains largely unrecognized and untreated. Objective To understand the outcomes of a specialized clinic on rates of evaluation and treatment of PA in ...

The Primary Aldosteronism Surgical Outcome Score for the Prediction of Clinical Outcomes After Adrenalectomy for Unilateral Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]
MINI: Clinical remission after unilateral adrenalectomy to treat unilateral primary aldosteronism is achieved in less than half of patients. A linear discriminant model with 6 presurgical predictors of clinical remission was used to build a 25-point ...

Primary Aldosteronism: Where Are We Now? Where to From Here?
Primary aldosteronism, the most common secondary form of hypertension, is thought to be present in ≈5% to 10% of hypertensive adults. However, recent studies indicate that its prevalence may be at least 3-fold higher based on the identification of renin ...

Use of Steroid Profiling Combined With Machine Learning for Identification and Subtype Classification in Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]
Importance Most patients with primary aldosteronism, a major cause of secondary hypertension, are not identified or appropriately treated because of difficulties in diagnosis and subtype classification. Applications of artificial intelligence combined
