We are witnessing a revolution in our understanding of primary aldosteronism (PA). In the

Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of primary aldosteronism, the most frequent
cause of secondary hypertension, are crucial to prevent deleterious cardiovascular …

Primary aldosteronism (PA) due to a unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma is a
common cause of hypertension. This can be cured, or greatly improved, by adrenal surgery …

Aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) are the commonest curable cause of
hypertension. Most have gain-of-function somatic mutations of ion channels or transporters …
