Low sodium salt substitute and potassium levels in high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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 replacing regular salt with a special salt substitute can help control or prevent high blood pressure. Households with at least one person with high blood pressure and one person without it may join, and all members who share meals need to take part.
This trial looks at how salt in your diet affects blood pressure control if you already have high blood pressure (hypertension). It aims to find simple ways to help manage your condition through diet.
This study tests whether your blood pressure is sensitive to salt intake. Researchers will provide you with controlled meals for two weeks to see how your body responds, then invite qualifying participants to continue with a personalized follow-up study.
This study tests whether a supplement called potassium magnesium citrate can help prevent or treat high blood pressure in African Americans who have mild hypertension. It aims to see if the supplement can lower blood pressure naturally and improve overall cardiovascular health.
This study tests if careful potassium management can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) safely take higher doses of blood pressure medicines called ACE inhibitors or ARBs, which are known to protect the kidneys. You may be eligible if you have moderate to advanced CKD and are already on a moderate dose of one of these medications.
This study asks people to report how much salt they eat so researchers can better understand sodium intake in people with high blood pressure and/or advanced kidney disease. It may help improve how salt-related health risks are assessed, though it mainly involves questionnaires and scheduled participation.
