Study objectivesTo determine the effects of altering dietary sodium intake or daily physical activity on plasma concentrations of N-Terminal BNP in normal subjects and patients who have had a prior Q-wave MI.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSodium intake
InterventionThe results of this trial will be used to inform clinical decision making based on NT_BNP results. Other areas involved: Cardiology, Nuclear Medicine Department.

The study is an open-label, randomised trial comparing the effects of varying dietary sodium and level of daily activity in 30 normal subjects patients recruited from General Practice and 30 patients with prior Q-wave myocardial infraction at the Nuclear Medicine Department at Hull Royal Infirmary.
