First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 5,000 people with primary aldosteronism, a common but often missed cause of high blood pressure that raises heart and kidney risks. Researchers will track treatments like medication, surgery, and other procedures over five years to see which works best. The goal is to provide real-world evidence to improve diagnosis and long-term care.
