As low potassium sometimes can affect your blood pressure, your doctor will check that, too. They also may want to do an electrocardiogram (EKG) if they think you may have arrhythmia. This is one of the more serious side effects and might change the way your doctor chooses to treat the ...
Little is known about the association of serum potassium with atrial fibrillation. Aims The aims of this study are to assess the association of low serum potassium (hypokalaemia) and the risk of AF. Methods Retrospective data were collected for all patients' records, who were hospitalised at ...
Calcium is involved in the mechanism of vasoconstriction and therefore influences blood pressure. Furthermore, calcium ions are an essential part of the electrical conduction in the heart2. Disruptions in the calcium homeostasis can lead to serious conditions like malignant arrhythmia or cardiac arrest2...
The nerve growth factor (NGF) protein was down-regulated, whereas the small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel type2 (SK2) protein was up-regulated in the LSG by chronic LL-TS. Chronic LL-TS could reduce the ventricular arrhythmia inducibility, LSG neural activity and sympathetic ...

Not getting enough electrolytes in your diet, especially calcium, magnesium, and potassium Anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder Inflammation in your heart (myocarditis), the inner lining of your heart (endocarditis), or the sac that holds your heart (pericarditis) Infections, like strep throat, whi...
involving the blockade of potassium and calcium ion channels essential for excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling in heart muscle cells16. The crash of the Prince William Sound herring fishery suggests that shore-spawning fish species may have experienced a form of delayed mortality that went ...
Observational studies of hemodialysis patients treated thrice weekly have shown that serum and dialysate potassium and bicarbonate concentrations are associated with patient outcomes. The effect of more frequent hemodialysis on serum potassium and bicarbonate concentrations has rarely been studied, especially fo...
These subjects took (1) losartan potassium 50 mg and (2) unknown. BP and adverse events outcomes There were no adverse events other than mild paresthesia of the hands in two subjects in the ELF-EMF group, who described the feeling as a lack of sensation that resolved quickly and ...
Every heartbeat begins when sodium channels open and ions to rush into heart cells—this starts theaction potentialthat causes the heart muscle to contract. When functioning normally, the sodium channels close quickly after opening and stay closed. Thereafter, potassium channels open, ions leave the...
