High Blood Pressure -- What Can Be Done
How does medicine help control high blood pressure?
Medicines called antihypertensives lower high blood pressure. Some, called diuretics or "water pills," rid the body of excess fluids and salt (sodium). Others, called beta blockers, reduce the heart rate and the heart's output of blood.
Vasodilators are another useful group of drugs. These can cause the muscle in blood vessel walls to relax, allowing the vessel to dilate (wid ...

Salt intake and Hypertension
Ari Kostadaras, M.D.
Evidence for a relationship between sodium intake and essential hypertension continues to mount. It is likely that increased salt intake is a necessary but not sufficient cause for hypertension. An experimental demonstration of this relationship has been performed in a study in chimpanzees, the closest species to man . When given extra salt (sodium chloride) in their diet, seven of 10 chimpanzees had a progressive ri ...

Most of our salt comes from foods, some from water. Inadequate salt can be problematic. Doctor ...
