Hypertension, Sodium and Sleep — Why the Connections Matter

This episode explores the critical connections between hypertension, sodium intake, and sleep health—three interrelated factors that significantly influence blood pressure control and cardiovascular risk. Expert faculty discuss the latest evidence on how excess sodium and insufficient or disrupted sleep contribute to hypertension, the physiologic mechanisms behind these relationships, and the impact on different patient populations. Listeners will gain practical insights into identifying overlooked contributors to poor blood pressure control and learn how to integrate lifestyle and behavioral strategies alongside pharmacologic treatment to support more effective, patient-centered care.
