Effects of Acute Dietary Sodium on Cerebrovascular Reactivity and Blood Pressure Reactivity

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Blood Pressure, Cerebrovascular Reactivity

In brief

Americans eat more salt than is recommended by the American Heart Association. This is important because consuming a high-salt diet is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, like strokes and heart attacks. In fact, consuming one high-salt meal temporarily reduces blood vessel function and it is not uncommon for Americans to consume high-salt meals. Therefore, our laboratory is interested in determining if a single high-salt meal affects 1) brain blood vessel function at rest and 2) blood pressure responses during exercise.
