Abstract
BACKGROUND
Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are the recommended medical therapy for bilateral primary aldosteronism (BPA). Compared with essential hypertension (EH), patients with BPA have higher cardiocerebrovascular disease (CCVD). There is no consensus on the criteria to assess the effectiveness of medical therapy for BPA.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the incidence and the risk factors for CCVD after medical therapy of BPA.
METHODS
We conducted a retrospective cohort study including 240 BPA patients treated with MRA. The post-treatment plasma renin activity (PRA) was defined as unsuppressed (PRA≥1ng/ml/h) otherwise, it was defined as suppressed. We analyzed the association of post-treatment PRA status with CCVD outcomes.
RESULTS
7.1% (17/240) of patients with BPA developed CCVD at a median follow-up of 5.0 (2.96,7.66) years. 57.1% of patients had PRA ≥ 1ng/ml/h after treatment. Patients with PRA <1ng/ml/h have a higher incidence of CCVD (12.6% vs. 2.9%, P < 0.05) and they are at greater risk than those with PRA ≥1ng/ml/h (HR=4.50, 95% CI: 1.47-13.83, P<0.05; adjusted HR=3.98, 95% CI: 1.22-13.02, P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Patients with BPA treated with pharmacological have a high incidence of CCVD. PRA may be an indicator that mineralocorticoids are being adequately antagonized.
