A user-friendly online tool was developed by Dr. Tracy Williams, Prof. Dr. Martin Reincke and Italian researchers to guide the clinical management of patients with Primary Aldosteronism. The PASO [Primary Aldosteronism Surgical Outcome] predictor was developed to individually advise patients on their likely improvement in hypertension status after adrenalectomy and to facilitate the decision for an operation.

The results were published in peer reviewed journals (Burrello et al. 2019) and non-peer reviewed magazines(https://www.n-tv.de/21028667, http://www.gesundheitsstadt-berlin.de/bluthochdruck-manchmal-heilbar-durch-operation-13320/).
