Sodium retention has a profound effect on vascular function and the pathogenesis of hypertension. 9 Excess sodium inhibits the Na pump/Na-K-ATPase of arterial and arteriolar vascular smooth muscle cells stimulating the sodium-calcium exchanger. This leads to increased intracellular calcium levels and vasoconstriction. 10 In addition, sodium retention decreases the synthesis of nitric oxide and increases levels of asymmetrical dimethl L-arginine, an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide production. 11Sodium retention also causes obligatory (passive) water accumulation that ultimately leads to increased extracellular fluid volume and increased left and right-sided pressures. 1, 7 Elevated left-sided pressures result in pulmonary congestion, which is recognized clinically by dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea, cough, hemoptysis, rales, and characteristic radiographic findings. High left-sided pressures also cause left ventricular chamber dilation and distortion of the mitral annulus often leading to malcoaptation of the mitral valve leaflets and significant mitral regurgitation. 12 Left ventricular chamber dilation increases wall tension and myocardial oxygen demand to the extent that myocardial ischemia and/or necrosis may occur. Functional mitral regurgitation and myocardial ischemia or necrosis adversely affect cardiac output ultimately leading to worsening symptoms, further activation of the sympathetic and RAAS systems, increased sodium retention and acceleration of cardiac remodeling (Figure 1). 7
