Abstract
Background. To date, the response of blood pressure to the increased salt intake, which is considered to be a cardiovascular risk factor, and, in particular, arterial hypertension (HTN), is well investigated. The threshold of salt sensitivity (TSS) is a usual measure to assess the level of nutritional sodium intake. However, existing methods for evaluating nutritional sodium intake are difficult to implement in routine practice.
Objective. To develop a rapid method for the salt sensitivity threshold determination in clinical practice.
Design and methods. The first phase of the study was the comparison study of the developed method with test strips (12 and 3) and the Henkin’s method (12 sodium chloride solutions) in healthy volunteers. Depending on TSS all subjects were divided into 3 groups: low TSS — less than 0,16%, average — 0,16%, high — more than 0,16%. The second stage of the study included the TSS determination by the 12 test-strips in 40 men with masked HTN (1st group) and 59 men without diagnosed CVD (2nd group — healthy individuals).
Conclusions. Rapid method by the use of test strips is comparable with the original Henkin’s method, is easy to carry out and can be conducted using 12 or 3 test strips. TSS depends on age (increases in people older than 40 years) and on the presence of cardiovascular disease (for example, masked HTN).
