Abstract:
Aldosterone and metabolic syndrome are known cardiovascular risk factors associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This review focuses on the recent advances and clinical significance of the relationship between aldosterone and each single component of metabolic syndrome. The possible role of aldosterone receptor antagonist or aldosterone synthetase inhibitor in the treatment of metabolic syndrome is discussed.
