Sodium restriction can reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The present study indicates that if hypertension is well controlled then the reemergence of hypertension can be decreased by the use of a reduced sodium intake. The present paper demonstrates that in such patients on a normal salt diet, 90% become hypertensive within 6 months while only 40% of people on a reduced sodium diet become hypertensive. It is proposed that a high sodium intake activates a number of amplifiers that causes a shift of the dose–response curve to sodium to the left and if not prevented or interrupted leads to the development of hypertension.
