    Aortic stiffness is a patient with arterial hypertensionHeart vascular independent predictors of events
    .


    Refractory hypertension is usually associated with hyperaldosteronism and is associated with adverse outcomes


    Heart blood vessels

    Recently, a research article published in JAHA, an authoritative journal in the field of cardiovascular diseases, researchers hypothesized that spironolactone can reduce aortic stiffness in patients with refractory hypertension and is not related to changes in blood pressure
    .


    The study prospectively recruited patients with uncontrolled blood pressure (≥140/90 mmHg) despite the use of more than 3 antihypertensive drugs (including diuretics)
    .


    Participants started taking 25 mg/d of spironolactone and increased to 50 mg/d at 4 weeks, while stopping other antihypertensive drugs to maintain a constant average blood pressure



    Spironolactone can improve the aortic characteristics of patients with refractory hypertension independently of BP, which may support the hypothesis that aldosterone affects the arterial wall
