Why the study?
Do clinical criteria and CT scans accurately diagnose aldosterone-producing adenoma in hypertensive patients with confirmed primary aldosteronism?
Do clinical criteria and CT scans accurately diagnose aldosterone-producing adenoma in hypertensive patients with confirmed primary aldosteronism?
Clinical criteria and CT scans lack sufficient diagnostic power to distinguish between primary aldosteronism subtypes, reinforcing the central role of adrenal venous sampling.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Neither CT nor biochemical criteria reliably subtype primary aldosteronism; reinforces central role of adrenal venous sampling pending prospective validation.
