Methods: Hospitalized HF patients (n = 3114) were analyzed at the Fuwai Hospital Heart Failure Center. Before discharge, HF patients were divided into four groups according to the K+ level quartiles: K+ ≤3.96 mmol/L (Q1), 3.96 < K + ≤ 4.22 mmol/L (Q2), 4.22 < K ...
Low potassium was present in 115 patients (6%), normal potassium in 1,576 (84%), and high potassium in 176 (9%). Potassium levels increased during hospitalization (0.18 ± 0.69 mEq/l). Patients with high potassium more often used angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and mineralocorticoid ...

Healthcare providers give potassium intravenously (by IV) for treating and preventing low potassium levels, irregular heartbeats, andheart attack. How does work? Potassium plays a role in many body functions including transmission of nerve signals, muscle contractions, fluid balance, and various chemica...
However, excessive intake of potassium, including from potassium citrate, can lead to hyperkalemia (elevated potassium levels in the blood), which can cause heart arrhythmias, muscle weakness, and other serious health issues. There is no evidence to suggest that potassium citrate is carcinogenic. As...
Spot urinary sodium-to-potassium ratio is associated with blood pressure levels in healthy adolescents: the Wakayama Study Article 19 December 2023 Introduction Elevated BP has become a major risk factor for the global burden of disease, and the resulting stroke and heart disease are the leading ...
Structure and function of Kv4-family transient potassium channels. Shal-type (Kv4.x) K(+) channels are expressed in a variety of tissue, with particularly high levels in the brain and heart. These channels are the primary ... Birnbaum,G S. - 《Physiological Reviews》 被引量: 733发表: ...
augmentation index normalized for a heart rate of 75 beats per minute; AoDBP, aortic diastolic blood pressure; AoSBP, aortic systolic blood pressure; BMI, body mass index; Cr, creatinine; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL, high density lipoprotein; K, potassium; LDL, low density lipoprotein;...
Most ways that you use to cook food can lower its potassium levels. For instance: Cooking in water, pressure cooking, and cooking in the microwave reduces potassium levels in cereals, fruits, meats, legumes, and leafy and cruciferous (broccoliand cauliflower) vegetables. ...
When potassium intakes exceed the amount that can be removed, the rising plasma concentration can cause muscle weakness, interference with electric conductance in the heart (arrhythmia), and eventually death due to cardiac arrest. The risk of hyperkalemia is particularly high in patients with renal ...
