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