Joanne Alves, Caio Bastos e a musa Nathalie Santana conversam sobre 4 armadilhas de hiperaldosteronismo primário:
1. Devo pensar em hiperaldosteronismo primário apenas quando potássio for baixo?
2. Posso diagnosticar mesmo em uso de anti-hipertensivos?
3. Preciso realizar teste de supressão de aldosterona em todos os pacientes suspeitos?
4. Preciso mandar pra cirurgia?
