Description
Aboriginal patients experience a disproportionate burden of cardiovascular disease, with hypertension being a key modifiable risk factor. The prevalence of primary aldosteronism, the most common and potentially curable secondary cause of hypertension in non-Indigenous populations, has never been explored in Indigenous populations. We will engage with Indigenous communities to gauge their attitude towards hypertension diagnosis and treatment, and seek their input in exploring primary aldosteronism in their communities.
