Treatment and Prognosis |

Text 
|
Prognosis is excellent if the condition is properly treated. Absence of treatment results in complications and even fatality. Deaths associated with Conn syndrome are mostly due to hypokalemia (low blood potassium levels) and hypertension. The former, if severe, can lead to cardiac arrhythmias (abnormalities in heart rhythm), which can be fatal. Untreated hypertension too, can lead to many complications such as heart diseases, stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage. |
