Study how extra potassium affects blood vessels
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how eating more potassium may protect blood vessels in healthy people. You may be eligible if you have normal blood pressure and a normal heart rhythm test, and you do not have certain health conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study explores how different amounts of sodium (salt) and potassium in your diet affect your blood vessels and heart health. Researchers will monitor your blood pressure and vascular function over time to understand these dietary effects better.
This study compares two education programs — one focused on lowering sodium (salt) and one on boosting potassium — to see which improves blood vessel health. It's for people who eat a lot of salt but not enough potassium, and who generally have a healthy heart and kidneys.
This study looks at how potassium and hydration affect heart and kidney health in healthy young adults. It may help you understand your own health and contribute to new knowledge about preventing disease.
This trial tests whether a plant-based diet with more potassium is safe for people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to a plant-based diet with less potassium. It may help you understand how to manage your potassium levels while eating more plants.
This study tests whether using a low-sodium salt substitute can keep your potassium levels safe while you manage your high blood pressure. It's for adults with high blood pressure who are already on stable medications.
This study tests whether relaxing the usual potassium restrictions in your diet is safe and helpful for people on hemodialysis. It may allow you to eat more foods you enjoy while keeping your potassium at a safe level.
