Calcium supplementation attenuates enhanced platelet
function in salt-loaded mildly hypertensive patients
Hypertension
(Jul) 26:156-163 1995
This study evaluated the effects of high and low calcium intake on
platelet function in patients during 300 mmol/day salt loading.
Calcium supplementation resulted in decreases in various platelet
factors and plasma and urinary norepinephrine concentrations, and
prevented salt-induced platelet hyperaggregability with the
suppression of the platelet release reaction.
