Abstract
High blood pressure variability (BPV) has been associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. The effect of dietary salt and renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) activity on short-term BPV in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not well characterised. We aimed to determine the effect of dietary salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) supplementation on 24-h mean arterial BPV (24hBPV) during angiotensin II receptor blocker (telmisartan) use and to evaluate the effects of age, sex, plasma renin activity (PRA) and serum aldosterone on 24hBPV. In a randomised, double-blind, crossover study, patients with T2DM (n = 28), treated with telmisartan received NaCl (100 mmol/24 h) or placebo capsules du..
