About this Research Topic
Research investigating nutritional strategies for improved disease management has increased due to the widespread prevalence of blood pressure (BP) abnormalities. With advancements in wearable technology, BP can now be monitored continuously and noninvasively, leading to the identification of various pathologies associated with BP fluctuations. Essential hypertension affects over 30% of the global adult population, highlighting the urgent need for effective management strategies. Recent studies have shed light on the acute changes in BP in response to orthostatic stress, yet the underlying mechanisms and the efficacy of dietary interventions remain underexplored. Despite the vast amount of data collected, there is a critical need for further research to understand the pathological changes in BP and to evaluate the potential of nutritional strategies in BP modulation.
This Research Topic investigates the role of diet, food products, and dietary supplements in regulating BP. The primary objectives include exploring the impact of nutritional interventions on BP, understanding the mechanisms through which diet influences BP, and evaluating the effectiveness of various dietary strategies in managing BP abnormalities/ extremes. Specific questions to be addressed include the role of salt intake in essential hypertension, the effects of dietary interventions on the autonomic nervous system, and the influence of body composition and vitamin deficiencies on BP regulation.
To gather further insights into the nutritional strategies for BP management, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• Current view on the role of salt intake in essential hypertension etiology: Pathological mechanisms, application in orthostatic intolerance, and genetic variation in BP response to salt intake.
• High and low blood pressure as symptoms in chronic disorders: Mechanisms and dietary treatments.
• Effects of dietary intervention on the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) function.
• Impact of diet, food products, and supplements on brain function, central control of BP, total peripheral resistance, blood vessels, endothelium, and the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS).
• Influence of body composition, vitamin deficiency, therapies to improve glucose homeostasis, alcohol intake, and aging on essential hypertension and orthostatic intolerance etiologies.
• Influence of breathing techniques on the Central Autonomic Network and ANS.
• Application of machine learning/Artificial Intelligence in studying subgroups of patients with hyper- and hypotension.
• Relationship between BP and the gut microbiome
