Overview

Patients with secondary hyperaldosteronism usually appear well. Physical examination of patients with secondary hyperaldosteronism is usually remarkable for high blood pressure, tachycardia, and an S4 maybe heard on auscultation of the precordium suggesting left ventricular hypertrophy secondary to increased afterload due to hypertension.
