Abstract

OBJECTIVE-Heart failure is common in individuals with type 2 diabetes, and early detection of individuals at risk may offer opportunities for prevention. We aimed to explore 1) prospective associations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in a non-heart failure range with changes in markers of left ventricular (LV) function and 2) possible effect modification by type 2 diabetes in a population-based cohort. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-Echocardiographic measurements were performed at baseline (2000-2001) and follow-up (2007-2009), together with standardized physical examinations and BNP measurements on 300 individuals (mean age 66 years, 32% with type 2 diabetes) of the longitudinal Hoorn Study. Multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to investigate associations of baseline BNP (

5. Aldosterone-to-renin ratio as a screening test for primary aldosteronism - The Dutch ARRAT Study

Author

Jansen, Pieter, Boomsma, Frans, van den Meiracker, Ton, and Internal Medicine

Abstract

Since the introduction of the aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) as a screening tool for primary aldosteronism (PA), there has been a marked increase in the reported prevalence of this condition among hypertensive subjects. A meta-analysis from the literature shows a PA prevalence of almost 8% among hypertensive patients, with a twofold higher prevalence in referred patients as compared with primary care patients (9.0 vs 4.3%). However, the usefulness of the ARR remains subject of debate, because of doubts on its validity, and the many factors affecting the ARR, including posture, time of day of blood sampling, and use of antihypertensive medication. Furthermore, there is no clear cut-off value and it is unknown what population should be screened. Recently, The Dutch ARRAT Study was initiated. This is a multicentre, prospective trial aiming to evaluate the test characteristics of the ARR within a Dutch population of therapy-resistant hypertensive patients. The effect of antihypertensive medication on the ARR will be studied. Furthermore, from this study the prevalence of PA in this population will follow. Last, the blood pressure response to the selective aldosterone-receptor-antagonist eplerenone will be evaluated. The Dutch ARRAT Study will run until the end of 2009 and will contribute to the formulation of uniform guidelines for the screening for PA in the Netherlands.
