title: [Syndrome of hypovolemia in patients with arterial hypertension].
abstract: A total of 440 patients with essential arterial hypertension underwent measurement of daily sodium excretion in urine followed by calculation of table salt consumption, 24-hour monitoring of AP and determination of daily AP index. Patients divided into 3 groups of n = 98, 120 and 222 were estimated to daily consume 9, 12 and 16 or more gram of salt respectively. Clinical manifestations of arterial hypertension and AP values progressively increased from group 1 to 3. These changes were paralleled by increased requirement of hypotensive agents, AP variations, and the number of non-dippers and night-pickers. It is concluded that the above features of AH correlate with salt consumption and are related to hypervolemia.
