Doctors at Queen Mary University of London, Bart\u2019s Hospital, and Cambridge University Hospital have developed a new CT scan to detect hormone-producing nodules in a gland, which is found in one-in-twenty people with high blood pressure.

The scan, when combined with a urine test, detects a group of patients who can stop all their blood pressure medicines after treatment<\/p>\n
