Let’s establish that potassium does appear to have an inverse relationship with BP
In a meta-analysis of 22 RCTs ⬆️ K+ intake⬇️BP by an average of 5.3/3.1 mmHg
💥greatest benefit seen in hypertensive patients who ⬆️potassium intake to 90-120mEq/d

This study showed a ⬇️need for antihypertensives if dietary K+ was ⬆️
💥RCT 47 pts w/ htn
💥⬆️ K+ vs usual K+ diet
💥45% ⬆️ in dietary K+ in ⬆️ K+ group
