چکیده
• Highlight evidence documenting effect of high sodium intake on high blood pressure and risk of cardiovascular disease • Learn potential impact of reduction in sodium intake on health care costs • Appreciate the sodium-potassium connection and how potassium intake can blunt the effects of sodium on high blood pressure • Present strategies for reducing sodium and increasing potassium intake in the American population • Familiarization with dietary reference intakes

Effects of potassium on blood pressure in salt-sensitive and salt-resistant black adolescents.
This study examined the effects of increasing dietary potassium on ambulatory blood pressure nondipping status (<10% decrease in blood pressure from awake to asleep) and cardiovascular reactivity in salt-sensitive and salt-resistant black adolescents. A sample of 58 normotensive (blood pressure, 101/57+/-9/4 mm Hg) black adolescents (aged 13 to 16 years) participated in a 5-day low sodium diet ...
متن کاملReproducibility of blood pressure responses to dietary sodium and potassium interventions: the GenSalt study.
Blood pressure responses to dietary sodium and potassium interventions vary among individuals. We studied the long-term reproducibility of blood pressure responses to dietary sodium and potassium intake. We repeated the dietary sodium and potassium interventions among 487 Chinese adults 4.5 years after the original dietary intervention. The identical dietary intervention protocol, which include...
متن کاملHeritability of blood pressure responses to dietary sodium and potassium intake in a Chinese population.
The heritability of blood pressure responses to dietary intervention has not been well studied. We examined the heritability of blood pressure responses to dietary sodium and potassium intake in a family feeding study among 1906 study participants living in rural North China. The dietary intervention included a 7-day low-sodium feeding (51.3 mmol per day), a 7-day high-sodium feeding (307.8 mmo...
متن کاملRelation Between Blood Pressure and Renin, Renin Substrate, Angiotensin II, Aldosterone and Urinary Sodium and Potassium in 574 Ambulatory Subjects
Five hundred seventy-four ambulatory subjects with blood pressures ranging from 94/58 to 250/145 mm Hg were studied on their usual dietary and sodium intake. Renin, renin substrate, angiotensin II, aldosterone and urinary sodium and potassium were compared with blood pressure to assess the contribution of these variables to the blood pressure variance. Our analyses revealed that renin substrate...
