calcium causes contraction,increases resistance
total peripheralresistance is the determinant of diastolic bp

well, I know that Sodium and Calcium share the same site for reabsorption.....Excess Na+ opens up calcium channels causing vasoconstriction of smooth muscle cell and increase in Total peripheral resistance wich gives increase diastolic pressure ?????
