Primary aldosteronism with right-dominant heart failure.
A 48 year-old obese male with hypertension was admitted to our department because of severe right-dominant heart failure. His heart rhythm was 2:1 atrial flutter and the left ventricle was diffusely hypertrophic and hypokinetic. Primary aldosteronism was diagnosed based on severe hypokalemia (2.6 mEq/L) and a low renin-high aldosterone state with hypertension despite the use of an angiotensin-I...
متن کاملReversible heart rhythm complexity impairment in patients with primary aldosteronism
Excess aldosterone secretion in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) impairs their cardiovascular system. Heart rhythm complexity analysis, derived from heart rate variability (HRV), is a powerful tool to quantify the complex regulatory dynamics of human physiology. We prospectively analyzed 20 patients with aldosterone producing adenoma (APA) that underwent adrenalectomy and 25 patients wi...
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...

متن کاملPleural effusions occurring with right heart failure.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Pleural effusions commonly occur in patients with left heart failure. However, there is increasing evidence that patients with pulmonary hypertension and isolated right heart failure frequently have pleural effusions. RECENT FINDINGS Three recent studies have evaluated the incidence of pleural effusions without an alternate explanation in patients with idiopathic/familial pu...
