Brief description The effectiveness of treatments to reduce heart disease risk can vary enormously between individuals. This is partly due to a persons genetic makeup. Fatty acid metabolites called cytochrome P450 metabolites of arachidonic acid (CYP450-AAM) can act on blood vessels and the kidney to regulate blood pressure. We will study the effect of having a variation in a gene that regulates CYP450-AAM on blood pressure and heart disease risk in combination with a high salt diet or weight reduction.
