Why the study?
Does primary aldosteronism alter left ventricular structure and function compared to essential hypertension in hypertensive patients?
Does primary aldosteronism alter left ventricular structure and function compared to essential hypertension in hypertensive patients?
Chronic aldosterone excess in primary aldosteronism does not appear to independently alter left ventricular geometry or systolic function compared to essential hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Comparable LV structure and function in primary aldosteronism versus essential hypertension; challenges experimental remodeling data but remains hypothesis-generating.
Goldkorn et al. (2002) studied this question.
