Is high-salt intake combined with high RAAS associated with increased arterial stiffness in hypertensive patients?
The combination of high salt intake and high RAAS activity identifies a higher-risk hypertensive phenotype characterized by increased arterial stiffness.
We showed a) an inverse salt-RAAS relation, b) an association between HS plus high RAAS with increased PWV that could identify a higher-risk hypertensive condition.
