Twenty-Four-Hour Urinary Aldosterone Predicts Inappropriate Left Ventricular Mass Index in Patients with Primary Aldosteronism

Table 5

Predictors for LVMI or inappropriate LVMI in patients with PA (groups 2 and 3).

Independent variables	𝐵 (95% CI)	𝑃
(A) LVMI as the dependent factor
Urine aldosterone	29.9 (8.6–51.3)	0.006
Serum potassium	−13.4 (−23–−3.7)	0.007
Diastolic BP	0.629 (0.147–1.112)	0.011
Sex	13.7 (1.15–26.33)	0.033
(B) Excess LVMI¶ as the dependent factor
Urine aldosterone	29.9 (10.6–49.2)	0.003
Serum potassium	−13.6 (−22–−4.8)	0.003

¶Excess LVMI = measured LVMI − predicted LVMI.
