Salt-sensitive hypertension

Patent Pending There has been strong evidence from epidemiological studies, human and animal intervention experiments, supporting the links between high rate of salt intake, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.[10] Clinical trials have shown that sodium intake can prevent hypertension and facilitate control thereof.[11] However, to properly study the effects of sodium intake levels on risk of development of cardiovascular disease, long-term studies of large groups using both dietary and biochemical measures are necessary.
