Cardiovascular risk associated with high
sodium-containing drugs: A systematic review
Background
Excess dietary sodium is associated with increased blood pressure (BP). Some drugs
are associated with high sodium intake (in particular effervescent tablets), but the cardiovascular risk associated with such high sodium-containing drugs (HSCD) is largely underevaluated.
Objectives
To summarize the evidence for a potential cardiovascular risk ...

VOO is rich in oleic acid, displaying health-promoting properties, but also contains minor bioactive components, especially phenolic compounds. Hydroxytyrosol (HT), the main polyphenol of olive oil, has been reported to be the most bioactive component. This review aims to compile ...
