Cardiovascular outcomes in patients with primary aldosteronism after treatment.
BACKGROUND Experimental and human studies demonstrate that long-term exposure to elevated aldosterone levels results in cardiac and vascular damage. METHODS We investigated long-term cardiovascular outcomes in patients with primary aldosteronism after surgical or medical treatment. Fifty-four patients with or without evidence of adrenal adenomas were prospectively followed up for a mean of 7....
متن کاملPrimary Aldosteronism vidence for an Increased Rate of Cardiovascular vents in Patients With Primary Aldosteronism
OBJECTIVES The aim of this report was to show that the rate of cardiovascular events is increased in patients with either subtype of primary aldosteronism (PA). BACKGROUND Primary aldosteronism involves hypertension (HTN), hypokalemia, and low plasma renin. The two major PA subtypes are unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. METHODS During a three-year...
متن کاملComparison between GRACE and TIMI scores in predicting significant cardiovascular events in patients with chest pain: brief report
Background: Chest pain is the most common reason for patients to be referred to the emergency department of hospitals. This study was performed to compare the GRACE and TIMI scores in predicting important cardiovascular events in patients. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 862 cardiac patients who were referred to the emergency department of Taleghani Hospital in Urmi...
متن کاملIs it Possible to Extirpate Cardiovascular Events in Primary Aldosteronism After Surgical Treatment
It is well known that primary aldosteronism (PA) due to aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is a surgically curable secondary hypertension. Thus, the differential diagnosis between unilateral hyperaldosteronemia due to APA and bilateral hyperaldosteronemia due to idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA) is crucial to decide surgical indication for treatment in PA patients. Adrenal venous sampling (A...
متن کاملPatients With Primary Aldosteronism
To evaluate the difference in myocardial damage between primary aldosteronism and untreated essential hypertension, we performed thallium-201 myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography in 10 patients with primary aldosteronism and 10 patients with essential hypertension who were matched for age, sex, blood pressure, and the severity of left ventricular hypertrophy for primary aldoste...
