BACKGROUND: Aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) are a common cause of primary aldosteronism that can lead to cardiovascular complications if left untreated. Machine learning-based bioinformatics approaches have emerged as powerful tools for identif...
BACKGROUND: Distinguishing between unilateral and bilateral primary aldosteronism, a major cause of secondary hypertension, is crucial due to different treatment approaches. While adrenal venous sampling is the gold standard, its invasiveness, limite...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is the primary method for differentiating between primary aldosterone (PA) subtypes. The aim of study is to develop prediction models for subtyping of patients with PA using computed tomography ...
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases, especially in unilateral subtype. Despite its high prevalence, the case detection rate of PA is limited, partly because of no clinical models available in ge...

OBJECTIVE: The saline suppression test (SST) and captopril challenge test (CCT) are commonly used confirmatory tests for primary aldosteronism (PA). Seated SST (SSST) has been reported to be superior to recumbent SST. Whether SSST is better than CCT ...
IMPORTANCE: Most patients with primary aldosteronism, a major cause of secondary hypertension, are not identified or appropriately treated because of difficulties in diagnosis and subtype classification. Applications of artificial intelligence combin...
