Hyperaldosteronism and hypertension: ethnic differences.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between aldosterone and blood pressure in a total of 220 normotensive and 293 essential hypertensive subjects in 2 genetically distinct populations-blacks and white French Canadians. The 24-hour blood pressure monitoring was performed under standardized conditions after discontinuing antihypertensive medications. Plasma renin activity an...
متن کاملArterial Hypertension, Atrial Fibrillation, and Hyperaldosteronism
Atrial fibrillation (AF) involves 1% to 2% of the adult general population, a rate that increases to 15% in those 80 years and above. Because of the aging of the general population, this epidemic of AF is expected to increase over the next decades and to impose an increasing burden on the healthcare system because of the need for life-long care and pharmacological treatment. Identification of t...
متن کاملIdiopathic Hyperaldosteronism Presenting as Resistant Hypertension
PrimaryAaldosteronism (PA) is a group of endocrine disorders in which aldosterone production is inappropriately high, autonomous of the renin-angiotensin system and not suppressed by sodium loading1. Bilateral idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA) and aldosterone producing adenoma (APA) are the most common subtypes of PA. It is estimated that more than 10% of patients with secondary hypertension ...
متن کاملClarification of hypertension – Diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism
Primary hyperaldosteronism (PH) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Apart from hypertension, hypokalaemia was hitherto considered to be the classical cardinal symptom. Its presence was therefore also usually a prerequisite for further diagnostic clarification in respect of PH. However, numerous new studies in normokalaemic hypertension patients now show that serum potassium leve...
متن کاملNormokalemic hyperaldosteronism in patients with resistant hypertension.
BACKGROUND Primary aldosteronism is a common cause of non-renal secondary hypertension. A correct diagnosis results in curing the hypertension or targeting appropriate pharmacotherapy. In patients with low renin resistant hypertension (after treatment with three or more different anti-hypertensive drugs the blood pressure remains above 140/90 mmHg), screening for aldosteronism is mandatory. O...
