Sentences with phrase «increased arterial stiffness»

A study published in March 2015 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology cites clinical data showing that even in the absence of an actual increase in blood pressure, excess sodium in the diet could harm the body, including blood vessels (for example, increased arterial stiffness), the heart (enlarged heart muscle), the kidneys (reduced renal function), and the brain (adverse sympathetic nervous system reactions).
