1. 1. Primary Aldosteronism Screening and Diagnosis in Primary Health Care

   Författare :Christina Westerdahl; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hypertension; primary health care; aldosterone; primary aldosteronism; fludrocortisone; aldosterone to renin ratio; renin; captopril;

   Sammanfattning : Arterial hypertension is a very common disorder. In most cases the cause is unknown and therefore classified as essential or primary hypertension. Primary aldosteronism (PA), characterized by an inappropriate aldosterone secretion, has traditionally been estimated to account for approximately 1 % of all hypertensive cases. LÄS MER

3. 2. Hypertension, Atrial Fibrillation and Aldosteronism - A study of interplay, predictors and outcome

   Författare :Georgios Mourtzinis; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hypertension; Atrial fibrillation; Aldosteronism;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common significant arrhythmia, affecting almost 3% of the adult population in Sweden. Although AF is associated with increased risk of lower quality of life, heart failure, stroke and mortality, the therapeutically options are still limited. LÄS MER

   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis comprises three studies with the general aim to improve our knowledge on the prevalence and diagnostics in primary aldosteronism (PA). PA is a hypertensive disorder with an estimated prevalence of 5-18 % in the hypertensive population. LÄS MER

5. 4. Genetic factors in primary hypertension- with emphasis on renal sodium reabsorption

   Sammanfattning : Genetic factors are of importance for the development of primary hypertension (HT). Intrauterine growth retardation, salt sensitivity and insulin resistance are all characteristic features of individuals prone to develop HT. LÄS MER

7. 5. Primary aldosteronism studies on screening, outcome of adrenalectomy and functional pathology

   Författare :Cristina Volpe; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis comprises four studies with the general aim to improve the management of patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). PA is a hypertensive disorder due to autonomous secretion of aldosterone from one or both adrenal glands. LÄS MER
