Sodium Lowering Vascular Effects Trial
Sponsor: Tulane University
Summary
The proposed mechanistic trial will test the effect of dietary sodium reduction on cardiac and vascular structure and function in those with elevated blood pressure or hypertension. Findings from this study will fill the knowledge gap on the underlying mechanisms of dietary sodium intake on cardiovascular disease risk in addition to blood pressure and could provide further evidence on sodium reduction for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Sodium Reduction Intervention
The sodium reduction intervention is a dietician-led behavioral intervention consisting of two phases, first a 3-month intensive intervention phase, followed by a 9-month maintenance phase. The overall goal of the intervention is to reduce sodium intake to \<2,300 mg per day based on the most recent guideline from the National Academies of Medicine. Both phases will include individual and group behavioral modification counseling designed to facilitate a reduction in dietary sodium intake.
