Adrenal BORDeAux reGistry: Bordeaux single-center study of hypertensive patients with primary hyperaldosteronism

Conclusion: The ABORDAGE population description is consistent with the data found in the literature. These characteristics are ultimately those expected in essential hypertension population, which therefore, could explain part of the underdiagnosis of primary aldosteronism. Only AVS is able to predict the lateralization of secretion with a post adrenalectomy recovery of about 90% in case of lateralization. The generalization of AVS would, therefore, increase the proportion of patients with primary aldosteronism cured.
