Impact of Salt Intake and RAAS blockade on lung SARS CoV-2 Host Factors

CONCLUSIONS: These findings offer biological support regarding the safety of these drugs that are often prescribed to COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular co-morbidity. High salt intake on the other hand might adversely affect COVID-19 outcome. Our preclinical data should stimulate clinical studies addressing this point of concern.PMID:35878596 | DOI:10.1159/000525368
