Do increased serum aldosterone levels within the physiologic range predispose nonhypertensive persons to the development of hypertension?
Nonhypertensive persons in a community-based sample
Increased serum aldosterone levels within the physiologic range
Incidence of hypertension
Higher serum aldosterone levels, even when within the normal physiologic range, may serve as a predictor or risk factor for the development of incident hypertension.
In our community-based sample, increased aldosterone levels within the physiologic range predisposed persons to the development of hypertension.
