Conclusiones
La utilización de los bloqueadores del receptor mineralocorticoide como espironolactona en
sujetos con HTA resistente produce una importante reducción adicional de la PA, independiente si
presenten o no un hiperaldosteronismo primario. Por ello debe estimularse su uso en esta situación,
respetando las precauciones y recordando que la hiperkalemia es más frecuente en sujetos con
insuficiencia renal, DM, ancianos o en aquellos con bloqueo del SRA o ingesta de AINEs
