Effects of a low salt diet on isolated systolic hypertension
Abstract Evidence has shown that long-term sodium reduction can not only reduce blood pressure , but also provide cardiovascular benefits . To date , there is little evidence related to the effects of salt reduction on isolated systolic hypertension ( ISH ) . A total of 126 hypertensive patients were divided into an ISH group ( n = 51 ) and a non-ISH ( NISH ) group ( n = 75 ) . The members of each group were then r and omly assigned to low sodium salt ( LSSalt ) or normal salt ( NSalt ) diets for 6 months . Their blood pressure was measured every 2 months . Serum plasma renin-angiotensin activity , blood biochemical assays and urinary measurements were determined at the baseline and at the end of the 6 months . At the end of the study , the mean systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) of the ISH LSSalt group had significantly decreased by 10.18 mm Hg ( 95 % confidence interval ( CI ) : 3.13 to 17.2 , P = .006 ) compared with that of the ISH NSalt group , while the mean SBP only decreased by 5.10 mm Hg ( 95 % CI : −2.02 to 12.2 , P = .158 ) in the NISH LSSalt group compared with that of the NISH NSalt group . The mean diastolic blood pressure ( DBP ) had no significant differences in the ISH and NISH groups . No obvious renin angiotensin system activation was found after LSSalt intervention . Regarding the urinary excretion of electrolytes and blood biochemical assays , the LSSalt treatment had the same effects on the ISH group as on the NISH group . The present study showed that the SBP of ISH patients was significantly decreased with the LSSalt intervention , while neither the SBP of the NISH patients nor the DBP of either group were similarly decreased , which indicated that ISH patients were more sensitive to salt restriction
