Abnormalities in the vascular endothelium such as impaired vasodilation can contribute to atherosclerosis and hypertension. In this study the authors performed a single-center randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of 4 months of a continuous Mediterranean diet (MD) regimen as compared to 4 cycles of fasting mimicking diet (FMD) on endothelial function and other cardiometabolic risk factors in hypertensive patients.
