Abstract

Purpose of review: One of the challenges in the diagnosis and management of primary aldosteronism (PA), the most common type of secondary hypertension with curative potential, is the modification of antihypertensive medications. We seek to explore whether these medications can be continued during the diagnostic process of PA to minimize the duration and risks associated with medication adjustments.

Recent findings: We searched PubMed for eligible original literature between 1990 and 2024 using the following keywords: (screening) AND (primary aldosteronism); (confirmatory) AND (primary aldosteronism); (adrenal vein sampling) AND primary aldosteronism). Some recent studies support the feasibility of PA-related tests and even adrenal vein sampling (AVS) without the need to discontinue antihypertensive medications in certain cases. In this review, we propose a management approach that considers the specific effects of antihypertensive medications on the RAAS axis and the patient's disease phenotype. Based on this, we suggest a strategy that enables the diagnosis of PA in certain patients without discontinuing their antihypertensive medications.

期刊介绍： This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of hypertension. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as antihypertensive therapies, associated metabolic disorders, and therapeutic trials. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
