Why the study?
Does a high salt diet alter hemodynamic responses to isometric exercise in normotensive subjects and patients with essential hypertension?
Population
25 hospitalized subjects, comprising 9 normotensive subjects and 16 patients with essential hypertension.
Comparison
High salt diet (16 g of salt per day) for 5 days. vs Baseline diet containing 6 g of salt per day.
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
5 days

High salt may exaggerate exercise pressor responses in hypertension; hypothesis-generating for salt sensitivity in vascular reactivity and requires prospective confirmation.
Does a high salt diet alter hemodynamic responses to isometric exercise in normotensive subjects and patients with essential hypertension?
High salt intake exaggerates pressor responses to isometric exercise in essential hypertension, suggesting enhanced sensitivity of resistance vessels to sympathetic stimulation.
