Relationship between aldosterone and the metabolic syndrome in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome: effect of continuous positive airway pressure treatment.

Likewise, aldosterone levels were also significantly related to waist circumference (r = 0.431, p = 0.006), triglyceride levels (r = 0.395, p = 0.001) and HDL cholesterol levels (r = 0.439, p = 0.001), ( Figure 2 , panels a, b, c) Aldosterone levels tended to be higher in hypertensive patients (19.2±12.2 ng/dL, n = 14) than in normotensive patients (15.3±8.6 ng/dL), although differences did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.142).
