Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are the recommended medical therapy for primary aldosteronism (PA). Whether this recommendation effectively reduces cardiovascular risk is not well understood. We conducted a cohort study including 602 PA patients treated with MRAs and 41853 age-matched patients with essential hypertension (EH) to investigate the risk for incident cardiovascular events (composite of myocardial infarction, heart failure hospitalization, stroke), atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and death in patients with PA compared with EH. Both groups had comparable cardiovascular risk profiles and blood pressures throughout the study. The incidence rate of cardiovascular events was higher among PA patients on MRAs compared with EH: 56·3 (48·8, 64·7) versus 26·6 (26·1, 27·2) events per 1,000 person-years (adjusted HR=1·91 [1·63, 2·25]; adjusted 10-year cumulative incidence difference: 14·1 [10·1, 18·0] excess events per 100 persons). PA patients also had higher adjusted risks for incident mortality (HR=1·34 [1·06, 1·71]), diabetes (HR=1·26 [1·01, 1·57]), and atrial fibrillation (HR=1·93 [1·54, 2·42]). Compared with EH, the excess risk for cardiovascular events and mortality was limited to PA patients whose renin activity remained suppressed (<1 µg/L/h) on MRAs (adjusted HR=2·83 [2·11, 3·80] and 1·79 [1·14, 2·80] respectively) whereas patients who were treated with higher MRA doses and had unsuppressed renin (≥1 µg/L/h) had no significant excess risk. Current practice of MRA therapy in PA is associated with significantly higher risk for incident cardiometabolic events and death independent of blood pressure control. Targeting MRA therapy to raise renin may mitigate this excess risk. National Institutes of Health
