Results:In vehicle-treated control rats, switching from a low-salt diet to a high-salt diet initiated modest increases in mean arterial pressure by increasing SVR while simultaneously decreasing heart rate and CO. In aldosterone-treated rats compared with control rats, switching from a low-salt diet to a high-salt diet initiated significantly greater increases in mean arterial pressure and SVR and significantly greater decreases in heart rate and CO.
Conclusions:Aldosterone promoted salt sensitivity and initiation of salt-dependent hypertension by amplifying salt-induced increases in SVR while decreasing CO. Increases in CO are not required for the initiation or maintenance of hypertension. These findings challenge the traditional view of the hemodynamic mechanisms that cause hypertension in primary aldosteronism.
