| Abstract |
Among patients with resistant hypertension, primary aldosteronism (PA) is worth detecting as it appears to be particularly common in this cohort. It is associated with excessive cardiovascular morbidity in relation to the degree of hypertension and reduced quality of life, both of which can be abrogated with specific surgical or medical treatment. Knowledge concerning factors (including medications) which can influence the results of screening by aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR) testing is expanding, and is important to appreciate, particularly in patients with resistant hypertension, in whom the need for multiple medications can render interpretation challenging. Advances in approaches to confirmatory testing, subtype differentiation and assay methodology are helping to improve feasibility and reliability of the diagnostic workup for PA and new treatment approaches are emerging. Major developments in understanding the genetic bases for PA hold promise towards further improvements and options in diagnosis and therapy. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 June 2014.
All research outputs
#15,301,754
of 22,757,090 outputs
Outputs from Current Hypertension Reports
#458
of 732 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#134,006
of 227,522 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Hypertension Reports
#7
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,757,090 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 732 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 227,522 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
