Diagnosis and Management of Primary Aldosteronism

Quick fact

Primary aldosteronism is the most common identifiable cause of hypertension, affecting up to 10% of all hypertensives and up to 20% of those with resistant hypertension. Yet it remains underdiagnosed, leading to excess cardiovascular events.

You treat hypertension every day, but what if the cause is a small tumor in your adrenal gland? Primary aldosteronism can be cured—if you know how to find it.
