The lecture will discuss the role of aldosterone in patients with chronic systolic hf and hf post mi based upon the rales, ephesus, and recently completed emphasis-hf trials and discuss the ongoing trial of aldosterone blockade in patients with hf and a normal left ventricular function (topcat). Pathphyiologic evidence supporting the application of aldosterone blockade to several new indications including resistant hypertension, the metabolic syndrome, chronic renal disease, atherosclerosis, and stroke will be reviewed, as well as the effect of aldosterone blockade on potassium homeostasis.
