Context: The aldosterone to active renin ratio (AARR) is the recommended screening test for primary aldosteronism (PA), but prospective study data on its sensitivity and specificity are sparse.Objective: We investigated the diagnostic accuracy of the AARR for detecting PA.Design: This is a prospective diagnostic accuracy study.Setting: This study was conducted from February 2009 to August 2015 at the outpatie...

Introduction: Soluble ST2 (sST2) is the truncated soluble form of the ST2 receptor in the circulation. It is a decoy receptor of IL-33 and thereby inhibits the effects of IL-33/ST2 signaling. Elevated levels of sST2 have been associated with various adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Recently, potential associations of sST2 with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been described in the general population. In this study, we determined possible cross-sectional associa...
