Aim. To determine the variability of serum aldosterone in patients with stable coronary artery disease in relation to arterial hypertension status, age, and gender. Materials and Methods. We recruited 176 consecutive patients with stable coronary artery disease and evaluated serum aldosterone by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, further comparing its levels with regards to age, gender, and presence of arterial hypertension. Results. Average serum aldosterone in patients with stable coronary artery disease was similar in Kemerovo Region and those reported in the literature. Age ≥ 60 years, female gender, and the presence of arterial hypertension were among the serum aldosterone determinants Conclusions. Females ≥ 60 years of age with a medical history of arterial hypertension have increased serum aldosterone.
