Abstract

The pathogenesis of essential hypertension is not fully understood. Literature indicates the complexity of blood pressure regulating mechanisms with a high impact of genetics and environmental factors. Previous experimental studies have shown the importance of salt intake in the development of hypertension. The aim of the study was to explore the influence of varying dietary sodium content on circadian blood pressure profile in patients with salt-sensitive hypertension. The study was carried out among 69 salt-sensitive hypertensive patients (19 females i 50 males) mean aged 36.1 ± 8.0 years. Study protocol provided low sodium diet firstly then high sodium diet containing 10–20 mmol and 220–240 mmol of sodium per day respectively. On each of the diet ABPM was performed. Our results suggest that in salt-sensitive patients the reduction of salt intake may decrease blood pressure and restore its circadian profile and thus lead to the reduction in the rate of complications of hypertension.
