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.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/adrenal venous samplingadrenalectomyelderlyprimary aldosteronismCatheterizationDyslipidemiasCerebrovascular DisordersHypertensionPrevalenceDiabetes Mellitus, Type 2Blood PressureAdrenalectomyDifferences in the presentation and evolution of primary aldosteronism in elderly (≥65 years) and young patients (<65 years)research article35583179open accessAdrenalectomíaSimilarPacientesHospitalesHipertensiónHiperaldosteronismoEstudio Multicéntrico10.1530/EC-22-0169PMC9254285https://ec.bioscientifica.com/downloadpdf/journals/ec/11/6/EC-22-0169.pdfhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9254285/pdf
