A calcium-rich diet (> 1000 mg calcium daily) slightly decreases blood pressure. Moreover, patients with essential hypertension have high parathormone levels already before hypertension is diagnosed. There is a positive correlation between parathormone and blood pressure, present in primary as well as secondary hyperparathyroidism. ![]() Parathormone plays a permissive role since it regulates the calcium-influx into the cells and thus increases the vasoconstrictive effect. Intracellular calcium plays a crucial role in the regulation of cardiovascular functions: An increased influx of calcium into the vascular smooth muscle cells leads to an augmental muscular tone and therefore to an increased vascular resistance and rise in blood pressure. The regulation of blood pressure is complex with several organs being involved.
