【 摘 要 】

In the last years several studies demonstrated the important role of aldosterone not only in the development of arterial hypertension bur also in the development of cardiovascular complications. Growing investigations have recognized the important role of aldosterone in the development of left ventricular hypertrophy, the myocardial fibrosis and changes in the wall of the carotid arteries. This article provides a clinical case of hypertensive patient with primary hyperaldosteronism. The dynamics of blood pressure, the state of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, left ventricular myocardium and carotid arteries were analized in the preoperative period, and in one year follow-up after the successful removal of the aldosteroma
