BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Several studies reported an increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). We performed a meta-analysis on the impact of PA on major markers of CV risk.
METHODS: Studies on the relationship between PA and common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT), prevalence of carotid plaques, flow-mediated dilation (FMD), nitrate-mediated dilation (NMD), pulse-wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AIx), and ankle-brachial index (ABI) were systematically searched in the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and EMBASE databases.
RESULTS: 12 case-control studies (445 cases, 472 controls) were included. Compared to subjects with essential hypertension (EH), PA patients showed a higher CCA-IMT (MD: 0.12 mm; 95% CI: 0.09, 0.16; P<0.00001), and a higher aortic-PWV (272 cases and 240 controls, MD: 1.39 m/s; 95% CI: 0.90, 1.87; P<0.00001). In contrast, non-significant differences were found in AIx and AIx normalized to a heart rate of 75 beats per minute (AIx@75). When compared to normotensive subjects, PA patients showed significantly higher CCA-IMT (MD: 0.16 mm; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.27; P=0.004), aortic-PWV (MD: 3.74 m/s; 95% CI: 3.43, 4.05; P<0.00001), AIx@75 (MD: 8.59%; 95% CI: 0.69, 16.50; P=0.03), and a significantly lower FMD (MD: -2.52%; 95% CI: -3.64, -1.40; P<0.0001). Sensitivity and subgroup analyses substantially confirmed our results. Metaregression models showed that male gender, diabetes, and smoking habit impact on the observed results.
CONCLUSIONS: PA appears significantly associated with markers of subclinical atherosclerosis and CV risk. These findings could help establish more specific CV prevention strategies in this clinical setting.
