Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: 1. . Aged between 18-75, male or female; 2. . With confirmed PA diagnosis (screening positive and at least one confirmatory test is positive); NOTE: Screening positive was defined as plasma aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) = 20(pg/ml)/(µIU/ml) or ARR=30(ng/dL)/(ng/ml/hr).
