Adrenalectomy improves increased carotid intima-media thickness and arterial stiffness in patients with aldosterone producing adenoma

Highlights ► Primary aldosteronism is associated with more prominent vascular change. ► We investigate the reversibility of vascular change in APA patients. ► APA patients had significantly higher carotid CIMT and PWV values than EH patients. ► One-year after adrenalectomy, carotid CIMT and PWV valu...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights ► Primary aldosteronism is associated with more prominent vascular change. ► We investigate the reversibility of vascular change in APA patients. ► APA patients had significantly higher carotid CIMT and PWV values than EH patients. ► One-year after adrenalectomy, carotid CIMT and PWV values reduced significantly.
