Is large artery compliance reduced in sodium-sensitive borderline hypertensive young males compared to sodium-resistant and normotensive controls?
Sodium-sensitive borderline hypertensive young males have reduced large artery compliance compared to sodium-resistant subjects, suggesting alterations in arterial wall viscoelastic properties independent of hemodynamics.
Draaijer et al. (1993) conducted an observational in Borderline hypertension (n=55). Sodium sensitivity vs. Sodium resistance and normotensive controls was evaluated on Arterial and venous compliance. Large artery compliance was significantly reduced in 17 sodium-sensitive borderline hypertensive males compared with 28 sodium-resistant subjects and 10 normotensive controls.
