Key result
Aldosterone antagonists emerge as potential targeted therapies for HFpEF driven by primary hyperaldosteronism.
Why the study?
Primary hyperaldosteronism is increasingly recognized as a key contributor to HFpEF pathophysiology, but the mechanisms linking hyperaldosteronism to HFpEF phenotypes and tailored therapeutic strategies require elucidation.
This review highlights the pathophysiological role of primary hyperaldosteronism in exacerbating HFpEF and underscores the potential for targeted management using aldosterone antagonists.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex syndrome characterized by preserved left ventricular systolic function, diastolic dysfunction, and systemic inflammation, often coexisting with metabolic and hemodynamic disorders. Primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA), a condition marked by excessive aldosterone secretion, is increasingly recognized as a pivotal contributor to the pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning HFpEF. This review explores the intricate relationship between hyperaldosteronism and HFpEF, emphasizing the role of aldosterone in myocardial remodeling, endothelial dysfunction, and systemic inflammation. Additionally, it highlights emerging evidence on aldosterone antagonists as potential therapeutic agents in mitigating HFpEF-related morbidity. By integrating clinical findings with molecular insights, we aim to elucidate how hyperaldosteronism exacerbates HFpEF phenotypes and propose strategies for targeted management. This synthesis underscores the need for tailored interventions in patients with concomitant hyperaldosteronism and HFpEF.

Correa et al. (2025) conducted a review in Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and primary hyperaldosteronism. Primary hyperaldosteronism was evaluated. Primary hyperaldosteronism is a pivotal contributor to HFpEF pathophysiology, and aldosterone antagonists represent potential therapeutic agents for targeted management.
