The purpose of this 8-week study is to compare the effects of switching from intravenous Flolan to intravenous Remodulin therapy. Remodulin (treprostinil sodium) is an approved therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Unlike Flolan, Remodulin does not need to be mixed daily and is stable at room temperature, so there is no need for ice packs. In addition, Remodulin is changed every 48hrs, instead of every 12-24 (with ice packs) or every 8 hours (without ice packs) with Flolan. Flolan is given using a type of portable medication pump called the CADD Legacy infusion pump. In this study, Remodulin will be given using a smaller and lighter medication pump called the Crono Five infusion pump. This study will also assess the effect that changing to Remodulin will have on treatment satisfaction and patient quality of life.

WHO identifies as an important risk factor and potentially modifiable to high sodium intake (\>2g/day 5g salt/day). Also, an insufficient consumption of potassium ( 3.5 g/day).Therefore, the results of this research could be the regional basis that is required to generate evidence, that designs strategies and recommendations for the prevention or decrease in the progression of high blood pressure. The reduction in the consumption of salt in the diet could comply with the recommendations established by international agencies. In addition, to favor the beginning of lifestyle changes, as well as other modifications that will have a positive impact on health.In population highly vulnerable to the campaigns of large industries that favor the consumption of processed food. However, it is unknown what is the effect of reducing foods high in sodium in populations in different regions of Mexico, estimated by 24 hour urine sodium excretion. Therefore, the present study aims to answer the following questions: What impact does an intervention aimed at the decrease in sodium intake, in young university students on blood pressure and the quantification of the excretion of sodium and urinary potassium of 24h? What is the association between body mass index, blood pressure and sodium reduction in the intervention vs control group? To assess the impact of an intervention aimed at reducing sodium intake through education as general recommendations for limiting specific foods high in sodium, in university students on blood pressure and quantification of urinary sodium and potassium excretion of 24h. Specific objectives Assess sodium intake between the intervention group and the control group by estimating 24-hour urinary sodium excretion. secundary objectives Evaluate the effect between the intervention group and the control group on blood pressure. To assess the levels of potassium excretion in the intervention and control groups. To evaluate the association between body mass index, blood pressure and sodium reduction in the intervention and control groups.
