Aldosterone and arterial hypertension

Raised levels of aldosterone, but also concentrations within the normal range are associated with elevated blood pressure. The authors of this Review assess evidence for the role of aldosterone in the development and maintenance of hypertension, including experimental and clinical studies, and discu...

Summary:Raised levels of aldosterone, but also concentrations within the normal range are associated with elevated blood pressure. The authors of this Review assess evidence for the role of aldosterone in the development and maintenance of hypertension, including experimental and clinical studies, and discuss the genetic and environmental mechanisms that underlie its effects.
