Overview
The goal of this study is to establish a diagnostic accuracy of an immediate pressor response to oral salt (IPROS) to identify salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP)
Description
Participants are given dietary salt and their BP is measured every 10 minutes for 2 hours. IPROS is diagnosed with significant mean arterial pressure increase
For SSBP, participants are put on high salt diet for a week and monitored and low salt week. The Mean arterial pressure difference between high salt and low salt is used to diagnose SSBP
