May differentiate salt-resistant from sensitive hypertension via baroreflex response; hypothesis-generating for sodium management.
Does high dietary sodium intake alter cardiopulmonary and arterial baroreceptor reflexes in hypertensive patients?
High salt diet potentiates cardiopulmonary baroreceptor reflexes and enhances atrial natriuretic factor response in salt-resistant, but not salt-sensitive, hypertensive patients, potentially exerting a protective vasodilatory effect.
