Dietary Sodium, Oxidative Stress, and Pulsatile Hemodynamics

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Sodium Excess

In brief

High sodium diets impair vascular function, which may influence the work of the heart. This investigation is designed to determine if this change in vascular function results in a greater workload in the heart and if people who regularly exercise are protected from these effects.
