great HTN JC discussion today on BAXHTN study by Dr. Shawna Nesbitt joined by @dramitkhera.bsky.social @giaconajohn.bsky.social @utswim.bsky.social Interesting that baseline aldosterone in the trial was around 7.5 ng/dL by LCMS with baseline PRA is 1 ng/mlhr. This means that majority of pts have PA

Try to find a good reference that describe incidence of impotency related to spironolactone and stumble into this classic article from 1972 by Dr. Carey&Liddle. 3/24 men (12.5%) with low renin HTN had impotency with 400mg/d of aldactone 6wks. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/5082464/

Another great HTN JC by @giaconajohn.bsky.social on AVIM therapy, which just received BDD status. A niche pacemaker for pt with systolic HTN but concerns remain for reduced cardiac output from AV dyssynchrony+ chronic RV pacing. with this high BP variability, how can oscillometric BP be accurate?
