Background Tissue sodium content by 23 Na magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been
found to be increased in arterial hypertension. We analyzed whether tissue sodium content
is increased in patients with type-2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods Patients with T2DM were
compared to those with primary hypertension. Patients with T2DM were off any antidiabetic
and hypertensive patients off any antihypertensive therapy for at least 4 weeks. Skin and
muscle sodium content was assessed non-invasively with a 3.0 T clinical MRI system …
