Why the study?
Is salt-sensitive essential hypertension associated with worse endothelial dysfunction compared to salt-resistant hypertension?
Is salt-sensitive essential hypertension associated with worse endothelial dysfunction compared to salt-resistant hypertension?
Salt-sensitive essential hypertension is associated with endothelial dysfunction characterized by defective endothelium-dependent vasodilation, likely due to impairment of the L-arginine-nitric oxide pathway.
