Table 1 Clinical timeline of diagnostic and therapeutic milestones
Time point
Clinical event
Initial evaluationRoutine assessment revealed hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis
Week 1Hormonal evaluation demonstrated markedly elevated aldosterone levels with suppressed renin activity, confirming primary hyperaldosteronism
Week 2Transthoracic echocardiography revealed asymmetric septal hypertrophy and dynamic LVOT obstruction (resting gradient 90 mmHg; 130 mmHg with Valsalva)
Week 3Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed septal thickness of 26 mm, preserved ejection fraction (72%), and mid-wall late gadolinium enhancement
Week 4Autoimmune serology and minor salivary gland biopsy established Sjögren’s syndrome
Week 5Abdominal imaging identified right adrenal adenoma and left-sided obstructive uropathy
Week 6Spironolactone therapy was initiated; hydroxychloroquine treatment was started
Month 3Blood pressure and serum potassium levels improved under therapy
Month 9Clinical stability was maintained; repeat imaging showed no significant regression of septal hypertrophy
