Abstract
CONTEXT: Primary aldosteronism (PA) has been recently associated with an unfavorable cardiometabolic profile. However, whether pro- and antiinflammatory adipokines levels can vary in PA is unknown. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the circulating levels of resistin, leptin, and adiponectin, echocardiographic left ventricle (LV) parameters, and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (SM) in subjects with PA. PATIENTS: Seventy-five subjects with established diagnosis of PA and 232 consecutive individuals with known or suspected hypertension were enrolled. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Plasma adipokine levels and echocardiographic parameters were calculated. Prevalence of SM was also estimated. RESULTS: Among the 75 PA subjects, 37 patients were affected by aldosterone-producing adenoma and 38 by idiopathic hyperaldosteronism; 40 subjects were affected by essential hypertension (EH) and SM (EH SM+); 152 subjects were affected by EH without SM (EH SM-); and 40 subjects were normotensive (NT). Subjects with PA had the highest plasma resistin levels among the four groups (P < 0.01). Plasma resistin concentration was significantly higher in PA subjects when compared with EH SM+ individuals (P < 0.01) and EH SM- subjects (P < 0.01). PA subjects showed the higher LV mass and left atrium than EH individuals, irrespectively of the presence of SM (P < 0.01 for both). Plasma resistin levels was significantly correlated with ejection fraction and LV end-diastolic volume. The prevalence of SM was higher in PA subjects than in those with EH (25.4 vs. 20.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that elevated aldosterone levels is associated with elevated circulating resistin levels and cardiac morphological changes independently of the presence of SM.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
