However, the effect of target treatment to the incidental CHF has not been elucidated. We aimed to investigate the risk of new-onset CHF in patients with aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) and explore the effect of adrenalectomy on new onset of CHF. Methods and Results-—From 1997 to 2009, 688 APA were identified and matched with essential hypertension controls. The risks of developing incidental CHF (hazard ratio, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.31–0.75; P=0.001) and mortality (hazard ratio, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.20–0.44; P<0.001) were significantly lower in the APA group after targeted treatment. A total of 605 patients with APAs who underwent adrenalectomy lowered the risks of CHF (subdistribution hazard ratio, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.34–0.90; P=0.017) and mortality (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.16–0.44; P<0.001) compared with essential hypertension controls. Conclusions-—In conclusion, for patients with APAs, adrenalectomy can be associated with lower risk of incidental CHF and allcause mortality in a long-term follow-up. ? 2019 The Authors.[SDGs]SDG3aldosterone; adenoma; adrenal tumor; adrenalectomy; adult; aged; biosynthesis; cohort analysis; complication; female; heart failure; human; male; metabolism; middle aged; retrospective study; risk assessment; Adenoma; Adrenal Gland Neoplasms; Adrenalectomy; Adult; Aged; Aldosterone; Cohort Studies; Female; Heart Failure; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Retrospective Studies; Risk Assessmentjournal article10.1161/JAHA.119.012410318014142-s2.0-85077843306
