Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Elevated aldosterone causes moderate to severe increase in blood pressure, and leads to various target organ damage including cardiovascular ones. Aldosterone has been considered one of the important risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Currently, the use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists(MRA) has been proven to reduce blood pressure levels, but long-term prognostic data are lacking in hypertensive patients. Therefore, the purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of MRA on cardiovascular disease in patients with Hypertension and Hyperaldosteronemia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The trial will randomize about 7800 participants aged between 30 and 75 years with Hypertension and Hyperaldosteronemia(Plasma aldosterone concentration \>12 ng/dl). All participants were randomly assigned to two different intervention groups. One group was treated with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists(MRAs) (including spironolactone 20-60mg/ day, or eplerenone50-100mg/day, or finerenone 10-20mg/ day) in addition to the original antihypertensive drugs. One group was given the original antihypertensive drugs.
