Screening for primary aldosteronism in 1,181 Swedish primary care patients with hypertension
PA is prevalent among primary care patients with hypertension and can be screened for under current antihypertensive therapy. Aldosterone-producing adenoma was rare in this cohort. The study results support active screening of primary care patients with hypertension for PA in order to offer appropriate treatment options.
