[Clinical features of arterial hypertension regarding gustatory sensitivity to common salt]
Abstract:
To specify clinical features and a course of arterial hypertension (AH) in respect of the amount of common salt (DS) and the threshold of gustatory sensitivity to DS, 134 hypertensive patients were examined. The patients having a high DS sensitivity are shown to take more DS and are characterized by more frequent cardiovascular and neurotic complaints, as well as by prevalence of anxiety and tension in their psychological status. Such patients more frequently have hereditary load of diseases; AH in them develops 10 years earlier, hypertensive crises occur more often. Left ventricular hypertrophy develops earlier, such risk factors as smoking and hypercholesterolemia combines often.
