If you have dangerously low potassium levels and/or abnormal heart rhythms, your doctor will give you potassium and other electrolytes by IV in the hospital. You need to be monitored when you get potassium by IV because of the risk of getting too much potassium (hyperkalemia), which can be ...

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...
prediction of the proarrhythmic activities of low-risk drugs is critically important.Recent evidence indicates that the risk of proarrhythmia of drugs is greatly increased in heart with enhanced late sodium current which is associated with variety of physiological,pathological and pharmacological ...
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...
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. Previous studies suggest, that hypocalcaemia as well as hypercalcemia might be independent risk factors for...
Alterations of transmembrane sodium (Na2+) and potassium (K+) fluxes also contribute to the changes in electrophysiological properties in response to the ox-LDL10. Interestingly, elevation of ox-LDL in plasma has shown to associate with atherosclerosis by mediating atherogenic processes in vascular ...
He had been taking his routine medications including telmisartan and a potassium-rich salt substitute for many years, without any recent change in dosage or quantity. There was evidence of microalbuminurea; however, the renal functions and electrolytes prior to starting etoricoxib were normal. He ...
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 ...
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 ...
