The Evaluation of Treatment Effects on Left Ventricular Structure and Function in Primary Aldosteronism by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

This study used routine cardiac function parameters and strain parameters based on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate the effects of specific treatments on left ventricular structure and function in patients with PA. We found that patients with PA had lower LV volumes and myocardial mass, as well as improved circumferential and longitudinal myocardial motion both after adrenalectomy and drug treatment. Specific treatment in patients of PA can not only effectively relieve the clinical symptoms, but also improve left ventricular structure and subclinical dysfunction.
