ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Primary aldosteronism is responsible for a major cardiovascular risk that can be avoided by specific treatment. A better characterization of the hypertensive population with primary aldosteronism would not only improve the overall diagnosis but also allows a better selection of patients requiring adrenal vein sampling (AVS).METHODS:
Creation of a prospective single-center Bordeaux ABORDAGE study of hypertensive patients with primary aldosteronism who underwent AVS. Primary aldosteronism was diagnosed according to the recommendations of the SFE/SFHTA. Peripheral and central blood pressure measurements were performed with mercury sphygmomanometer, SphygmoCor applanation tonometer and ambulatory blood pressure measurement. An adrenal computed tomography and an unstimulated AVS were performed in each patient.RESULTS:
One hundred and eighty-eight patients were included in our study. They were mostly men (61.7%), with a mean age of 48.7â±â10.5âyears, BMI of 29.7â±â5âkg/âm2 and duration of hypertension of 101.5â±â84âmonths. AVS was selective in 82.3% of patients and lateralization was concordant with CT in only 35.4% of patients. Lateralized secretion was significantly associated with a marked biological primary aldosteronism and hypertension. In multivariate analysis, no variable specifically differentiated patients with aldosterone lateralization.CONCLUSION:
The ABORDAGE population description is consistent with the data found in the literature. These characteristics are ultimately those expected in essential hypertension population, which therefore, could explain part of the underdiagnosis of primary aldosteronism. Only AVS is able to predict the lateralization of secretion with a post adrenalectomy recovery of about 90% in case of lateralization. The generalization of AVS would, therefore, increase the proportion of patients with primary aldosteronism cured.
