Response to the article: "primary aldosteronism: are we missing the wood for the trees?".
This letter is a short response to Dr Funder's recent commentary on primary aldosteronism under the title "Primary aldosteronism: are we missing the wood for the trees?". We briefly discuss recent data from our department on autonomous aldosterone secretion (AAS) and the efficacy of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in a group of patients with AAS, that would otherwise remain undiagnosed.
