Abstract:
The roles of sodium, potassium and magnesium in the etiology of high blood pressure are reviewed. Mechanisms of action for these cations in alterations of systemic blood pressure are discussed. A rationale for the introduction of a new Na-K-Mg salt for the prevention and treatment of hypertension in human subjects is presented. Preliminary results with this new Na-K-Mg salt are promising.
