Arterial stiffness tied to cardiorenal Injury in lateralized primary aldosteronism

03 Oct 2020

An association exists between preoperative severe arterial stiffness and absence of complete clinical success in lateralized primary aldosteronism (PA) patients following adrenalectomy, a study has found. Such effect may play a role in cardiorenal injury, which partially explains kidney function deterioration and reduced regression of heart mass.
