A 72-years-old man, having 230-210/110-90 mmHg with a 5-drugs antihypertensive regimen, was diagnosed with an aldosterone-producing adenoma. Blood pressure values remained elevated in spite of spironolactone therapy and surrenectomy, possibly because of renal insufficiency and vascular damage subsequent to long-term uncontrolled hypertension.
