Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is both the most common form of secondary hypertension and a high-risk subset associated with increased cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and renal morbidity compared to essential hypertension. Unilateral PA is amenable to surgery, biochemical cure and reversal of this excess risk; whilst bilateral disease is best treated through mechanism-directed medical therapy. Currently, PA subtype classification relies on adrenal venous sampling (AV...
