Increases in life expectancy and cardiovascular adverse events in patients with
hypertension highlight the need for new risk-reduction strategies to reduce the burden of …

Most hypertensive cases are primary and heavily associated with modifiable risk factors like
salt intake. Evidence suggests that even small reductions in salt consumption reduce blood …

Hypertension is a complex trait determined by both genetic and environmental factors and is
a major public health problem due to its high prevalence and concomitant increase in the …

The assessment of salt sensitivity of blood pressure is difficult because of the lack of
universal consensus on definition. Regardless of the variability in the definition of salt …

The currently available data have indicated that dietary salt is directly correlated with blood
pressure (BP) and the occurrence of hypertension. However, the salt sensitivity of BP is …

Salt sensitivity is estimated to be present in 51% of the hypertensive and 26% of the
normotensive populations. The individual blood pressure response to salt is heterogeneous …

High blood pressure (BP) is a complex trait determined by genetic and environmental
factors, as well as their interactions. Over the past few decades, there has been substantial …

Excess dietary salt intake represents a predominant cause of hypertension. However,
individual blood pressure response to salt is heterogeneous, possibly due to different …

Hypertension and its consequences, including heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease, are
responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. Lifestyle changes, particularly …

Salt sensitivity, which is an increase in blood pressure in response to high dietary salt intake,
