Gene test could predict your salt sensitivity

This study looks at how genes influence heart hormones called natriuretic peptides, which help control blood pressure and metabolism. Researchers will give 200 adults with mild high blood pressure low-salt and high-salt diets, plus a saline infusion, to see how their blood pressure and hormone levels change based on their genetic profile. The goal is to understand why some people are more salt-sensitive and to pave the way for personalized treatments for hypertension.
