Abstract
⺠Aldosterone levels predict mortality and/or MACCE in patients with CAD, MI or CHF. ⺠MR activation induces cardiovascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and remodelling. ⺠MRAs reduce mortality and hospitalization in patients with reduced LV function, CHF or acute MI. ⺠MRAs are still under-prescribed although prescription is safe under certain precautions.
