Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The incidence of vascular complications in 224 patients with aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) which was proven on adrenal surgery, was compared to that in 224 sex- and age-matched patients with essential hypertension (EHT). The incidence of cerebral hemorrhage was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the patients with APA when compared to the EHT group. On the other hand, the incidence of myocardial infarction and/or congestive heart failure in the APA group was lower, although this difference did not reach statistical significance. Diastolic blood pressure in the APA group was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in the EHT group. However, a significant difference in diastolic blood pressure was not detected between the APA groups with and without vascular complications, whereas in the EHT group diastolic blood pressure was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in cases with vascular complications as compared to those without complications. As a possible factor contributing to the higher incidence of cerebral hemorrhage in the APA group, proteinuria was suggested. It was recommended that patients with primary aldosteronism should undergo operation when localization of the APA is established.
