Stowasser M – It is now widely recognized that primary aldosteronism (PA) is much more common than previously thought, accounting for up to 5–10% of hypertensives, and that aldosterone excess has adverse cardiovascular consequences that go above and beyond hypertension development. These findings have precipitated a marked resurgence of research activity, most of which has supported the concept that PA plays an important role in cardiovascular disease states and should be systematically sought and specifically treated.
