Twenty-Four-Hour Urinary Aldosterone Predicts Inappropriate Left Ventricular Mass Index in Patients with Primary Aldosteronism
Figure 2
ROC curve: to predict the presence of inappropriate LVMI in patients with primary aldosteronism: the ROC AUC of log-transformed 24 hr urinary aldosterone is larger than that of PAC or ARR. (ROC AUC for log-transformed 24 hr urine aldosterone: 0.61 (95% CI 0.48–0.734); for PAC: 0.43 (95% CI 0.31–0.551); for plasma aldosterone to renin activity ratio: 0.493 (95% CI 0.36–0.61), † compared with log-transformed urine aldosterone) The presence of inappropriate LVMI is defined as positive if measured to predicted LVMI ratio >135%.
