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, ...

we developed a survey in partnership with The Harris Poll. The survey asked the panel to carefully compare diets for their nutritional completeness, health risks and benefits, long-term sustainability and evidence-based effectiveness for a variety of health conditions and lifestyle goals.You can see...

Mean serum potassium levels at baseline and follow-up are also shown; about 8% of the chlorthalidone group were receiving potassium supplementation at 5 years compared with 4% in the amlodipine group and 2% in the lisinopril group. Among individuals classified as nondiabetic at baseline, with ...
The blood levels of potassium, called serum potassium in medical literature, amount to only about 2% of the total body potassium [1]. Potassium is absorbed through the gut and removed by the kidneys through urine [1,6]. Testing potassium is important for evaluating kidney, heart, and adrenal...

). Sodium reduction decreases blood pressure in people either with or without hypertension and therefore decreases the combined CVD morbidity and mortality (13., 14., 15., 16., 17.). A growing literature shows that increased potassium intake has the potential to reduce blood pressure, ...
Potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) control vasodilation and are potential regulatory targets. This study evaluated effects of sex differences, exercise training (EX), and high-fat diet (HF) on K+ currents (IK) of coronary VSM cells. Yucatan male and female swine were assigned...
