High Salt Intake Linked to Atherosclerosis Even With Normal BP
A large study from Sweden concludes that a high salt intake is an important risk factor for atherosclerosis, even in the absence of hypertension.
The study, including more than 10,000 individuals between the ages of 50 and 64 years from the Swedish Cardiopulmonary bioImage Study, showed a significant link between dietary salt intake and the risk for atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary and carotid arteries, even in participants with normal blood pressure and without known cardiovascular disease.
The finding suggests that salt could be a damaging factor in its own right before the development of hypertension, the authors write. The results were published online March 30 in European Heart Journal Open.
It has been known for a long time that salt is linked to hypertension, but the role that salt plays in atherosclerosis has not been examined, first author, Jonas Wuopio, MD, Karolinska Institutet, Huddinge, and Clinical Research Center, Falun, Uppsala University, both in Sweden, told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology.
“Nobody questions the fact that high blood pressure is a powerful risk factor for atherosclerotic disease, but not all studies have suggested that, at least at significantly higher levels of sodium intake, that high salt intake tracks with risk for atherosclerotic disease,” Alon Gitig, MD, assistant professor and director of cardiology, Mount Sinai Doctors-Westchester, Yonkers, New York, told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology.
