Sodium sensitivity in young adults with high resting end-tidal CO2.
Previous research with normotensive adults aged over 40 years ('older') found that sensitivity of blood pressure of subjects with high resting end-tidal partial pressures of CO2 to high sodium intake was greater than normal. ⋯ The results indicate that a high resting partial pressure of CO2 augments the effects of high sodium intake on plasma volume, levels of endogenous digitalis-like factors, and blood pressure in young normotensive humans.
