  The relationship between excessive salt intake and hypertension is well established in the literature. However, the intensity of blood pressure increase in response to such intake varies among individuals. The salt sensitivity is, therefore, measurement of blood pressure response to the variation of salt content in the diet in each individual. The importance of sensitivity to salt has bee…

• Abstract

  Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. For its control, non-drug treatments such as exercise, aerobic, relaxation exercises and the use of equipment developed to decrease the respiratory rate - RESPeRATE ®, has been widely recommended, for having demonstrated significant hypotensive effect, both in pressure measurements in the office and in the ambulatory blood pr…
