[Tongue gustation of patients with arterial hypertension].
To study tongue gustation of patients with arterial hypertension (AH) to sodium chloride (SC) we have examined 630 people. Each one has a gustation threshold to sodium chloride (GTSC). We have established that hypertension patients' GTSC is higher than that of healthy people. Gustation to SC is a changeable index. It depends on nutrition with big (small) SC amount, smoking, current treatment; as to women with overweight, it depends on clinical presentations of AH.
