Primary aldosteronism in a general population sample. The Czech post-MONICA study.

Conclusion: Elevated serum aldosterone together with low renin and high ARR were found in 52 (8%) of hypertensives selected from a general population sample, however, the diagnosis of PA was confirmed only in 13 of them (2%). This study based on a general population survey highlighted the difficulty of conducting epidemiological studies on primary aldosteronism in a relatively healthy cohort part of whom did not provide the level of collaboration that is necessary to assess the true prevalence of this condition.
