Arterial stiffness progressively increases with aging and is an independent predictor of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Evidence supports that there are sex differences in the …

Background Recent cohort studies show that salt intake below 6 g is associated with
increased mortality. These findings have not changed public recommendations to lower salt …

Arterial stiffness is often increased in overweight/obese subjects before the development of
hypertension. It is also one of the earliest indicators of increased cardiovascular disease risk …

Abstract Purpose of Review Excess sodium from dietary salt (NaCl) is linked to elevations in
blood pressure (BP). However, salt sensitivity of BP varies widely between individuals and …

Hypertension is a primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is
the leading cause of death among adults worldwide. In this review, we focus on two of the …

Background The projected reduced mortality effect of reduced sodium intake in model-
based studies conflicts with the observed increased mortality associated with low sodium …

Central blood pressure (cBP) is highly associated with cardiovascular risk. Although
reduction of salt intake leads to lower peripheral blood pressure (BP), the studies on cBP …

BACKGROUND High sodium (Na+) intake augments blood pressure variability (BPV) in
normotensive rodents, without changes in resting blood pressure (BP). Augmented BPV is …

Sodium is a physiologically essential nutrient, but excessive intake is linked to the increased
risk of various chronic diseases, particularly cardiovascular. It is, therefore, necessary to …

Background Recent epidemiological evidence suggests a J-shaped, rather than the
classical linear, association between dietary sodium (Na) intake and cardiovascular (CV) …
