Primary aldosteronism is common cause of secondary hypertension. As a result of high blood pressure it can lead to severe complications, including aortic dissection. We would like to present a case of 40 year-old patient who had resistant hypertension despite administration of multiple drugs. During diagnosis primary aldosteronism was found, complicated by aortic dissection. After introducing the appropriate treatment we managed to significantly reduce the cardiovascular risk.
原发性醛固酮增多症是继发性高血压的常见病因。由于高血压，它可导致严重并发症，包括主动脉夹层。我们想介绍一例40岁的患者，尽管使用了多种药物，但仍患有顽固性高血压。在诊断过程中发现原发性醛固酮增多症，并伴有主动脉夹层。在采取适当治疗后，我们成功地显著降低了心血管风险。
