Abstract

To compare the presentation and evolution of primary aldosteronism (PA) in the elderly (≥65 years) and young patients ( A retrospective multicenter study was performed in 20 Spanish hospitals of PA patients in follow-up between 2018 and 2021. Three hundred fifty-two patients with PA Older patients with PA have a worse cardiometabolic profile than young patients with PA that it is related to a longer duration of hypertension. However, the results of the AVS, and adrenalectomy are similar in both groups. Therefore, the management of elderly patients with PA should be based not only on age, but rather on the overall medical, physical, social, and mental characteristics of the patients.
