Abstract
The restriction of dietary K, undertaken 6 times in 4 patients with hypertensive vascular disease, was followed rapidly by small but statistically significant decreases in "resting" blood pressure. Na retention accompanied the restriction of K. The low K diet blocked the pressor response to desoxycorticosterone.Keywords
