Serum Aldosterone as Predictor of Progression of Coronary Heart Disease in Patients Without Signs of Heart Failure After Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: Introduction: In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) early risk assessment of development of complications is of great importance. It is proven that aldosterone level has a major role in progression of cardiovascular pathology. Aim: Determination of influence of aldosterone plasma level in the progression of heart disease in patients without signs of heart failure after AMI. Material and Methods: Research included 207 patients, ho… Show more

“…25 In patients with ischemic heart disease, elevated aldosterone concentrations have been correlated with development of HF, anginal symptoms, worsening coronary artery disease, and reinfarction. 26 Although elevated aldosterone levels have been associated with worse outcomes, not all patients with HF and ischemic heart disease have elevated aldosterone plasma levels. For example, in a subset of patients enrolled in the Randomized Aldactone Evaluation Study (RALES) in whom neurohormonal data were collected, the geometric mean [95% confidence interval (CI)] baseline aldosterone plasma concentration was 0.37 nmol/ mL (0.31-0.45) in the place group and 0.32 nmol/mL (0.25-0.41) in the spironolactone group, P = 0.40.…”
