      Aldosterone has been characterized by its actions on the kidney via the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) to control sodium excretion, and thus regulate sodium and volume homeostasis and blood pressure. However, aldosterone acts as well on the heart and blood vessels to exert physiological and pathophysiological actions.

      Excess aldosterone in relation to salt status acting through MR via both genomic and nongenomic effects contributes to endothelial dysfunction and stiffness, and vascular and cardiorenal adverse remodeling, and thus participates in the target organ damage associated with hypertension, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and chronic kidney disease.

      In all these conditions, blockade of the MR has been shown to exert beneficial cardiorenal actions that improve outcomes of patients.
