ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how the body responds to salt and its effect on blood pressure, specifically looking for a quick change in blood pressure after consuming salt. The researchers want to find out if this response can help identify people who are sensitive to salt, which means that their blood pressure increases more than usual after eating salty foods.

To participate in the study, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old and not have any kidney or heart diseases. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to take part in tests that monitor your blood pressure after consuming salt. This research is important because understanding how salt affects blood pressure can help improve treatment options for individuals with high blood pressure. The trial is currently recruiting participants, so if you meet the criteria and are interested, you could play a key role in advancing our knowledge of blood pressure and salt sensitivity.
