Deficiency of the cardiac potassium channel TASK-1 results in a LQTS phenotype and alters heart rate variabilityB.C., DonnerS., PetricL., ClasenC., Van WeseZ., DingK.G., Schmidt
heart rate decreased, severe potassium deficiency can lead to respiratory muscle paralysis and death. In addition, low potassium can cause gastrointestinal peristalsis to slow down, leading to intestinal paralysis, increased anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension and other symptoms. Clinical medic...

Effects of potassium supplementation and deficiency on the progression of salt-sensitive hypertension doi:10.1152/physiol.2024.39.S1.1519While the physiological effects of sodium on blood pressure are well established, many of the effects of potassium remain unclear. Prior work found that increased ...
Potassium Deficiency Salim K. Mujais, Adrian I. Katz, in Seldin and Giebisch's The Kidney (Fourth Edition), 2008 Potassium Potassium transport in this segment is altered in a direction that favors potassium conservation.

There may be decreases in BMR and body temperature, as well as a mild gain in weight. Thyroid hormone plays a vital role in the normal growth of the fetus. A deficiency in this hormone has especially severe effects on brain development. Changes in thyroid hormone levels in the body provoke...
Potassium is also necessary for bone health, as it prevents the alkaline compounds found in bones from being used up by the body's natural metabolic acids; low potassium is associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis. Fatigue, Irritability, and Confusion People with potassium deficiency ...
KATP channel deficiency affects structural remodeling, renders the heart vulnerable to Ca2+-dependent maladaptation, and predisposes to heart failure. In the vasculature, activation of KATP channels results in hyperpolarization of the membrane potential, leading to inhibition of voltage...
Cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of death in Croatia, are linked to the high prevalence of hypertension. Both are associated with high salt intake, which was determined almost two decades ago when Croatian Action on Salt and Health (C
