Higher preoperative antihypertensive count was associated with persistent hypertension after adrenalectomy; leaves open refined predictors for blood pressure response in primary aldosteronism.
Does unilateral adrenalectomy guided by adrenal venous sampling improve blood pressure in patients with primary aldosteronism?
In patients with primary aldosteronism and lateralization on AVS, unilateral adrenalectomy improves blood pressure regardless of age, duration of hypertension, family history, or renal dysfunction.
