Associations of urinary sodium excretion with central hemodynamics and changes in vascular structure and function at high altitude.

ABSTRACT: Research reports on associations of urinary sodium excretion with central hemodynamic parameters and vascular changes are quite limited in general or non-hypertensive population. The purpose of the current study was to explore such associations in Chinese general Tibetans living at high altitude. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Luhuo County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture with average elevation of 3800 meters from December 2018 to January 2019. A total of 294 Tibetans were included in the current study. Twenty-four hour urinary sodium excretion was estimated by second fasting spot urine in the morning using Kawasaki formula. Central hemodynamic parameters, including central systolic blood pressure (CSBP), central diastolic blood pressure (CDBP), central pulse pressure (CPP
