Effect of low-sodium salt applied to Chinese modified DASH diet on arterial stiffness in older patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes.

Background and purpose: the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet has multifunctional health benefits. We evaluated the effects of low-sodium salt applied to Chinese modified DASH diet on arterial stiffness in older patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Methods: sixty-one older adults with hypertension and type 2 diabetes were randomly allocated to low sodium salt group (n = 31) or normal sodium salt group (n = 30).

Effect of 52 % low-sodium salt applied to CM-DASH Diet on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risks in patients with hypertension and type-2 diabetes.

Introduction: hypertension and diabetes are chronic disorders associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Objectives: to evaluate the effect of 52 % low-sodium salt applied to the Chinese-modified DASH (CM-DASH) diet on risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in patients with hypertension and type-2 diabetes. Methods: the low-sodium salt group (LSSG) took 5 g/day of 52 % low-sodium salt plus CM-DASH diet for 8 weeks, while the normal-sodium salt group (NSSG) took the same dose of normal-sodium salt plus CM-DASH diet for 8 weeks.

Short-term effects of modest salt reduction combined with DASH diet on changing salt eating habits in hypertensive patients with type II diabetes.

Objective: Excessive salt intake is currently the foremost universal risk factor for controllable chronic disease. This study evaluated the short-term effects of a modest salt intake reduction combined with the Chinese Modified Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (CM-DASH) diet on sodium and potassium intake, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and pulse pressure (PP) in hypertensive patients with type II diabetes.

Methods: Sixty-one participants were randomized to the intervention group (52% low-sodium salt and DASH) and control group (normal salt and DASH).

Effect of sodium reduction based on the DASH diet on blood pressure in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objectives: to evaluate the effect of sodium reduction based on a modified DASH diet on blood pressure in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes. Material and methods: sixty-one hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes were selected from the community and randomly allocated to a common salt group and low sodium salt group receiving the 8-week dietary intervention, in which weeks 1-2 was the dietary guidance phase, weeks 3-4 was the centralized feeding phase, and weeks 5-8 was the home medical care phase. Participants were followed up in the hospital once a week to collect information on outpatient blood pressure, salt, and drug use.

Preliminary Experiment on the Effect of 18% Substitute Salt on Home Blood Pressure Variability in Hypertensives.

At present, the effect of substitute salt in reducing sodium intake and blood pressure is relatively clear. The present study is a phase I clinical trial involving 43 hypertensives in which the effect of 18% sodium substitute salt on the home blood pressure variability (BPV) was observed for 8 weeks with weekly follow-up. Finally, 4 patients were lost, and 39 patients completed the intervention and were included in the analysis.

[Left ventricular radial and longitudinal systolic function derived from magnetic resonance imaging in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients].

Objective: To evaluate the left ventricular (LV) radial and longitudinal systolic function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients by 3.0 T MR.

Methods: Sixteen HCM (HCM group) and twenty normal adults (normal group) were examined with fast imaging employing steady-state (FIESTA) acquisition sequence of cardiac MRI.

[Magnetic resonance imaging derived left ventricular global and region function parameters in healthy adults].

Objective: To establish cardiac magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) derived left ventricular (LV) global and region function parameters in normal adults.

Methods: Twenty normal adults were examined with fast imaging employing steady-state(Fiesta) acquisition sequence of cardiac MRI, LV global function and LV region function were measured at basal, middle, apical level and at 16 LV segments. The regional function parameters among different levels and different segments of the same level were analyzed.
