Test whether lowering salt improves blood vessel health
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a lower-salt plan can improve how your blood vessels work. It’s meant for adults with higher blood pressure who may be at risk for heart and blood vessel problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 40 or older
- Have blood pressure that is high (top number 120+ or bottom number 80+), with or without blood pressure medicines
- Not have severe kidney problems (kidney failure, dialysis, or a transplant; or very low kidney filtering)
- No past major heart or blood vessel disease
- Not work night shifts regularly

This trial tests if certain strategies can reduce damage to blood vessels when blood flow is restored after being blocked. It seeks sedentary adults who have not exercised regularly and are not on heart medications.
This study tests whether more intensive blood pressure lowering can improve artery health in older Veterans. You would be randomly assigned to standard or tighter blood pressure control and get free study-related care and monitoring.
This study tests a treatment aimed at increasing “rest-and-digest” nerve activity to improve how blood vessels work, especially in people with vascular oxidative stress. It is designed for African American adults and looks at whether the intervention can improve blood vessel-related health markers.
This early-phase study looks at whether a treatment can help reverse problems in blood vessels caused by high glucose (sugar) and blood fat signals. It may be a fit if you are generally healthy, have normal insulin and sugar levels, and have a stable weight.
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 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.
