Gender difference in QT interval in patients with primary aldosteronism

Effects of hypokalemia and left ventricular hypertrophy on QT interval in patients with primary aldosteronism.

Patients 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...

Sleep quality in patients with primary aldosteronism.

OBJECTIVE In subjects at high risk for sleep apnea (SA), aldosterone concentrations correlate with severity of SA and primary aldosteronism (PA) is very often diagnosed. Patients with PA show a high prevalence of SA. Treatment of PA either by adrenalectomy (ADX) or mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blockade is thought to abolish the increased comorbidities. However, no data are available regardin...

Primary 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...
