Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate salt sensitivity in elderly subjects with different forms of hypertension and controls and to investigate any modulation by genotype DESIGN: Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled latin-square SETTING: Tertiary referral hospital PARTICIPANTS: Community subjects (n = 46) aged > or = 60 years classified as isolated systolic hypertension [ISH; systolic blood pressure (SBP) > or = 160, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) < 90 mmHg, n = 19], diastolic +/- systolic hypertension (SDH; DBP > or = 90 mmHg, n = 10) and normotension (SBP < 160, DBP < 90 mmHg, n = 17). INTERVENTION: Four 14 day treatments, 50, 100, 200 and 300 mmol/day of sodium chloride supplementation interspersed with 14 day washout periods on a salt-restricted diet. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The 24 h blood pressure, heart rate, weight, urinary sodium and creatinine clearance measured during baseline, treatment and washout periods and angiotensinogen (AGT) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) genotypes. RESULTS: For the entire cohort, the mean +/- standard error (SE) of change from baseline in SBP for 50, 100, 200 and 300 mmol/day salt was 7.7+/-2.4, 12.1+/-2.4, 16.6+/-3.0, 18.5+/-2.6 mmHg, respectively. For DBP, the respective changes were: -0.1+/-1.5, 2.4+/-1.6, 3.0+/-1.5, 5.8+/-1.7 mmHg. The increase in SBP among ISH subjects was significantly higher than among subjects in the SDH and normotensive groups (P < 0.05). AGT genotype influenced the effect of salt dose on the change in DBP (P = 0.006) but not SBP (P = 0.7). CONCLUSIONS: In healthy, older subjects, a linear increase in BP occurred with increasing salt dose, it appeared most pronounced in ISH subjects and could be modulated by AGT genotype.
