Both low blood potassium levels (hypokalemia) and high blood potassium levels (hyperkalemia) can lead to abnormal heart rhythms. The most important clinical effect of hyperkalemia is related to the electrical rhythm of the heart. While mild hyperkalemia probably has a limited effect on the heart, ...
It exerts its hypoglycemic action in pancreatic beta cells by inhibiting the adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (K_ATP) channels. K_ATP channel closure provokes an excess of positive K~+ ions in the inner side of the plasma cell membrane.Siniorakis,E.Arvanitakis,S.Pantelis,N.Roussou,K...

Heart failure (HF) is a systemic disease associated with a high risk of morbidity, mortality, increased risk of hospitalizations, and low quality of life. Therefore, effective, systemic treatment strategies are necessary to mitigate these risks. In this manuscript, we emphasize the concept of high...
It could be their diet or some other conditions, such as patients with usually congestive heart failure, diabetes, obviously any type of chronic kidney disease, and patients could take medications that interfere with the regulation of potassium. That's why it's very important for patients to ...
Other foods rich in potassium that you should also consider are dried apricots, oranges, raisins, cantaloupe, spinach, zucchini, and winter squash. Honey Due to its ability to reduce stress in the heart and its calming effect on blood vessels, honey makes a great natural remedy in maintaining...
and can precipitate latent diabetes by regularly raising blood sugar. Hydrochlorot sometimes creates electrolyte disturbances which can result in an abnormal heart rhythm1. Potassium and magnesium supplements are advised when patients have low electrolyte levels. Hydrochlorot can also cause severe gout ...

treatmentis to lowerhigh blood pressureand protect important organs, like thebrain,heart, andkidneysfrom damage. Treatment for hypertension has been associated with reductions in stroke (reduced an average of 35%-40%),heart attack(20%-25%), and heart failure (more than 50%), according to ...
An exploratory multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed that included the following covariates: assigned group, age, NT proBNP, body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, sodium, urea, creatinine, NYHA functional classification, loop and potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE...
