Lack of RAAS inhibition by high-salt intake is associated with arterial stiffness in hypertensive patients
Hypothesis/introduction: The relationship between salt intake, blood pressure and RAAS activation is still controversial, being that both high- and low-salt intakes are associated with cardiovascular events in a J-shaped curve pattern. We hypothesized that different patterns of RAAS response to diet...
