About this Research Topic
Despite of enormous amount of data collected, there is still more research needed both in exploring the mechanism underlying pathological changes in BP, as well as the efficacy of therapies in BP modulation. Therefore, the current Research Topic aims to collect papers on the role of diet, food products, and dietary supplements on blood pressure.
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of this Research Topic, all types of research (Descriptive, Correlational, Causal-Comparative/Quasi-Experimental, and Experimental Research) are welcome. The topic will accept a wide range of manuscript types: Original Research; Review; Meta-analysis; Policy and Practice Reviews; Perspective; Clinical Trial; Case Report; Community Case Study; Conceptual Analysis; Data Report; Policy Brief; Brief Research Report; General Commentary; Opinion.
Topics may include but are not limited to:
• Current view on the role of salt intake in the essential hypertension etiology: Pathological mechanism, application in orthostatic intolerance; Genetic variation in the response of BP to salt intake.
• High and low blood pressure as a symptom in chronic disorders: mechanism, dietary treatments.
• Effects of dietary intervention on the function of Autonomic Nervous System (ANS).
• Effects of diet, food products, food supplements on brain function and central control of blood pressure, on total peripheral resistance, blood vessels, endothelium, and on 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 Central Autonomic Network and ANS.
• Machine learning/Artificial Intelligence application in the study on subgroups in patients with hyper- and hypotension - Relationship between BP and gut microbiome.
