Rapid protocol stratifies BP response to sodium restriction in this cohort; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does a rapid protocol for salt sensitivity assessment accurately predict blood pressure response to dietary sodium restriction in hypertensive patients?
The modified Grim protocol is a reliable and rapid test to predict blood pressure response to dietary salt restriction in hypertensive patients, offering a practical alternative to prolonged dietary assessments.
