Abstract
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with a high rate of cardio- and cerebrovascular complications and metabolic alterations. PA is also recognized as the most frequent, although often unrecognized, secondary form of hypertension. Guidelines have been released to assist clinicians in the diagnostic work-up and subtype differentiation of PA. In this review we discuss and compare the available guidelines in the context of our professional experience and evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic aspects that are still a matter of debate.Entities:
