Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of smoking on the health profile and surgical outcomes of patients with primary aldosteronism (PA).
- In a retrospective analysis of 881 PA patients from 36 Spanish hospitals, smokers exhibited higher rates of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and larger adrenal tumors compared to non-smokers, although their blood pressure and potassium levels were similar at diagnosis.
- The results indicated that while smoking is linked to a greater prevalence of LVH and mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS), it does not significantly influence hypertension cure rates after surgery for PA.
Aim: To evaluate the impact of aldosterone excess on renal function in individuals with primary aldosteronism and to compare its evolution after surgery or mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) treatment.
Methods: A multicentre, retrospective cohort study of primary aldosteronism patients in follow-up in 36 Spanish tertiary hospitals, who underwent specific treatment for primary aldosteronism (MRA or adrenalectomy).
Results: A total of 789 patients with primary aldosteronism were included, with a median age of 57.
Purpose: To compare the clinical and hormonal characteristics of patients with familial hyperaldosteronism (FH) and sporadic primary aldosteronism (PA).
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed for the identification of FH patients. The SPAIN-ALDO registry cohort of patients with no suspicion of FH was chosen as the comparator group (sporadic group).
Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with several cardiometabolic comorbidities. Specific treatment by mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) or adrenalectomy has been reported to reduce the cardiometabolic risk. However, the cardiovascular benefit could depend on plasma renin levels in patients on MRA.

Methods: A retrospective multicenter study of PA patients followed in 27 Spanish tertiary hospitals (SPAIN-ALDO Register). Only patients with confirmed unilateral or bilateral PA based on adrenal venous sampling (AVS) and/or postsurgical biochemical cure after adrenalectomy were included.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how common it is for people with a condition called primary aldosteronism (PA) to also have a problem with cortisol production, known as autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS).
- They found that about 29% of patients with PA had ACS, especially those who were older or had larger tumors.
- Despite some differences in age and tumor size, having ACS didn't change how well patients did after surgery or their overall health compared to those who only had PA.
Background And Aim: We aimed to develop a clinical prediction model for pulmonary thrombosis (PT) diagnosis in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
Methods: Non-intensive care unit hospitalized COVID-19 patients who underwent a computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) for suspected PT were included in the study. Demographic, clinical, analytical, and radiological variables as potential factors associated with the presence of PT were selected.
Background: Incidence of thrombotic events associated to Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is difficult to assess and reported rates differ significantly. Optimal thromboprophylaxis is unclear.
Objectives: We aimed to analyze the characteristics of patients with a confirmed thrombotic complication including inflammatory and hemostatic parameters, compare patients affected by arterial vs venous events and examine differences between survivors and non-survivors.
