Implication

May support expanded PA screening in hypertension; leaves open optimal surgical selection given stable adenoma and cure rates.

Structured PICO

Population

Hypertensive patients referred to specialized centres

Intervention

Screening for primary aldosteronism and subsequent adrenal surgery for aldosterone-producing adenomas

Outcome

Prevalence of primary aldosteronism, proportion of aldosterone-producing adenomas, and frequency of hypertension cure or improvement following surgery

This review highlights that primary aldosteronism affects ~6% of hypertensive patients, and while screening is increasing, the proportion of surgically correctable adenomas and post-surgical cure rates remain stable.
