Summary
This study follows 1,000 adults with primary aldosteronism—a condition where the adrenal glands make too much aldosterone—to see how it affects thinking and memory over up to 5 years. Participants will take regular cognitive tests and have medical check-ups. The goal is to learn how often cognitive decline happens and what factors might influence it.
