Outcomes after adrenalectomy for unilateral primary aldosteronism: an international consensus on outcome measures and analysis of remission rates in an international cohort

Reads0

TLDR
Consensus was reached for criteria for six outcomes based on blood pressure, use of antihypertensive drugs, plasma potassium and aldosterone concentrations, and plasma renin concentrations or activities based on clinical and biochemical outcomes.

Cardiovascular events and target organ damage in primary aldosteronism compared with essential hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: The association between primary aldosteronism and adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, target organ damage, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, compared with the association of essential hypertension was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiometabolic outcomes and mortality in medically treated primary aldosteronism: a retrospective cohort study

TL;DR: The current practice of MR antagonist therapy in primary aldosteronism is associated with significantly higher risk for incident cardiometabolic events and death, independent of blood pressure control, than for patients with essential hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnosis and treatment of primary aldosteronism: practical clinical perspectives.

TL;DR: Clinicians should perform case detection testing for primary aldosteronism at least once in all patients with hypertension to determine whether patients with confirmed PA have a disease that can be cured with surgery or whether it should be treated medically.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Expanding Spectrum of Primary Aldosteronism: Implications for Diagnosis, Pathogenesis, and Treatment.

TL;DR: Evidence suggesting that primary aldosteronism manifests across a wide spectrum of severity, ranging from mild to overt, that correlates with cardiovascular risk is reviewed, as well as emerging evidence from genetic studies that begin to provide a theoretical explanation for the pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adrenalectomy Lowers Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Primary Aldosteronism Patients at Long Term.

TL;DR: By showing that during a long-term follow-up adrenalectomized aldosterone-producing adenoma patients have a similar long- term outcome of optimally treated PH patients, whereas, at variance, medically treated PA patients remain at a higher risk of atrial fibrillation, this large prospective study emphasizes the importance of an early identification of PA patients who need adrenalectomy as a key measure to prevent incident atrialfibrillation

TL;DR: In this article, a randomized controlled trial of Aliskiren in the Prevention of Major Cardiovascular Events in Elderly people was presented. But the authors did not discuss the effect of the combination therapy in patients living with systolic hypertension.

The Delphi Technique: Making Sense of Consensus

TL;DR: The Delphi technique is well suited as a method for consensus-building by using a series of questionnaires delivered using multiple iterations to collect data from a panel of selected subjects.

The Management of Primary Aldosteronism: Case Detection, Diagnosis, and Treatment: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline

TL;DR: This guideline recommends that all patients with primary aldosteronism undergo adrenal computed tomography as the initial study in subtype testing and to exclude adrenocortical carcinoma and advises that an experienced radiologist should establish/exclude unilateral primary aldehydes using bilateral adrenal venous sampling.
