Consecutive patients with APAs (n=26) and essential hypertension (EH, n=26) were individually matched for age, sex, race, body mass index, casual blood pressure, and known duration of hypertension. The matched groups were similar for demography, casual and 24-hour blood pressure values and variability, and duration of hypertension but differed for serum potassium, plasma renin activity, and aldosterone levels (all\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;.001).
