Background Since hyperaldosteronism has been experimentally related to myocardial
interstitial fibrosis, we investigated the effects of hypertension and excess aldosterone due to …

Background: Aldosterone induces cardiac fibrosis in experimental animal models, but only
limited information is available on the association between aldosterone and left ventricular …

Objective: Primary aldosteronism is the most frequent cause of secondary hypertension and
is associated with more prominent left ventricular hypertrophy and increased myocardial …

We investigated the effects on the heart of hypertension due to the excess of aldosterone
and suppression of the renin-angiotensin system caused by primary aldosteronism with M …

Hyperaldosteronism has been causally linked to myocardial interstitial fibrosis
experimentally, but it remains unclear if this link also applies to humans. Thus, we …

Objectives: The aim of this report was to show that the rate of cardiovascular events is
increased in patients with either subtype of primary aldosteronism (PA). Background …

Primary aldosteronism (PA) has been associated with cardiovascular hypertrophy and
fibrosis, in part independent of the blood pressure level, but deleterious effects on the …

Context Primary aldosteronism (PA) represents the most frequent form of endocrine
hypertension. Hyperaldosteronism and hypercortisolism both induce excessive left …

Objective Primary aldosteronism (PA) is characterized by the onset of both cardiac and
gluco-metabolic alterations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of aldosterone …

Background—Primary aldosteronism (PA) causes excess left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy
and diastolic dysfunction; whether this occurs also in secondary aldosteronism (SA) without …
