Nifedipine provides greater BP reduction in salt-sensitive black hypertensives on high-salt diets; extends RCT evidence for salt-diet interactions in this population.
Does nifedipine reduce 24-h blood pressure and affect natriuresis and hormonal levels in black normotensive and hypertensive subjects?
Nifedipine effectively lowers blood pressure in black normotensive and hypertensive subjects, with a more pronounced effect in salt-sensitive individuals on a high-salt diet.
Damasceno et al. (1999) studied this question.
