Prevalence of primary aldosteronism in acute stroke or transient ischemic attack : a systematic review and meta-analysis

Copyright © 2024 McCarthy, Munnings, Clissold, Fuller, Yang and Phan..

Background and purpose: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common endocrine cause of secondary hypertension with a prevalence of 14% in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension. Patients with PA experience a higher rate of cardiovascular events including stroke when compared to those with blood pressure matched essential hypertension. This systematic review and meta-analysis summarize current evidence on the prevalence of PA in patients with acute stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Methods: Two reviewers independently reviewed the literature for observational studies on the prevalence of PA in patients with acute stroke or TIA. MEDLINE and Embase were searched for studies up to December 13, 2023.

Results: Three single center studies conducted in Japan, Singapore and China were found to meet the inclusion criteria. The reported prevalence of PA in two cohort studies of adults with stroke or TIA were 3.1% and 4.0% and a third cross-sectional study in adults under 45 years old revealed a prevalence rate of 12.9%. Following a meta-analysis, the pooled prevalence of PA in adults with stroke or TIA is 5.8% [95% CI 1.6%-12.3%].

Conclusions: A considerable proportion of patients with stroke or TIA may have PA as the underlying cause of their hypertension. Given the increased risk of stroke associated with PA, clinicians should consider screening for PA in hypertensive patients with stroke or TIA. Further research is needed to evaluate the effect of timing and interfering medications on test results, which will inform an evidence-based approach to testing for PA following TIA or stroke.
