Restriction of the amount of sodium chloride in the diet of hypertensive patients has been a controversial topic since almost the beginning of the present century, and in recent years evidence suggesting that excessive ingestion of sodium chloride may of itself cause arterial hypertension in experimental animals and in man has been presented. In spite of much study of possible disturbances of electrolyte metabolism, relatively little work has been done on the electrolyte composition of tissues in hypertension, and it was therefore considered desirable to investigate the relationship of blood pressure to tissue electrolyte levels.
