Wearable device reveals nocturnal hormone patterns missed by standard blood pressure tests

Earlier diagnosis of primary aldosteronism could prevent cardiovascular complications including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes in millions of undiagnosed patients.

For millions living with high blood pressure, the true cause has remained hidden in plain sight — not because medicine lacked curiosity, but because it was asking the wrong question at the wrong moment. Primary aldosteronism, a hormone disorder quietly driving heart disease and stroke in perhaps one in five hypertension patients, announces itself not in steady signals but in nocturnal bursts that a single blood draw cannot catch. Researchers across five countries have now built a wearable device that listens to the body across an entire day and night, revealing rhythms that reframe what diagno
