Importance of contralateral aldosterone suppression during adrenal vein sampling in the subtype evaluation of primary aldosteronism

Summary Objectives Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is the standard criterion for the subtype diagnosis in primary aldosteronism (PA). Although lateralized index (LI) ≥4 after cosyntropin stimulation is the commonly recommended cut‐off for unilateral aldosterone hypersecretion, many of the referral centr...
