Is primary aldosteronism a frequent form of hypertension? Data from the Czech Registry and the Czech Institute of Health Information and Statistics

Original language description

PurposePrimary aldosteronism (PA) is recognised as the most prevalent form of secondary hypertension. This study aims to provide a concise summary of one year&apos;s data from Czech registries concerning newly diagnosed cases of PA, accompanied by a brief clinical characterisation of these patients.Materials and methodsNewly diagnosed patients with primary aldosteronism were included from five separate centres across the Czech Republic during the first year of the PA registry&apos;s existence. Additionally, data on PA diagnoses were obtained from the National Health Information and Statistics Institute of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic. The diagnosis of PA in the centres was established in a hospital setting in accordance with international guidelines.ResultsIn the first year of the registry, 84 new cases of primary aldosteronism were identified (mean age 50.0 years; range 18-76), including 29 women (35%). Notable differences were observed among the five hypertensive centres. All patients with PA presented with hypertension, and positive adrenal imaging was found in 54% of cases. Adrenal venous sampling was performed in 85% of the patients. According to data from the Institute of Health Information and Statistics, newly diagnosed hypertension was recorded in 157,000 subjects, and PA was registered in 666 cases nationwide during the same year, with the first diagnosis of PA recorded in 153 patients. Measurements of aldosterone and renin were performed in 9,579 and 17,152 cases, respectively, throughout the Czech Republic during this period.ConclusionsData from Czech registries indicate a relatively low number of newly detected PA cases within one year. This finding contrasts with the current notion and may be partially attributed to infrequent laboratory screening among hypertensive patients.
