CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE/therapyDIGITALIS/poisoningPOTASSIUM/therapeutic usePotassium is essential to the functioning of the myocardium from which it is lost in pathologic processes, and to which it is restored by digitalis therapy. This important relationship suggests the employment of potassium salts as...

High sodium diets with inadequate potassium and high sodium-to-potassium ratios are a known determinant of hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The Caribbean island of Barbados has a high prevalence of hypertension and mortality from CVD. Our objectives were to estimate sodium and potassium...
The use of potassium citrate in patients with chronic renal failure, or any other condition which impairs potassium excretion such as severe myocardial damage or heart failure, should be avoided (5.1) Gastrointestinal lesions: if there is severe vomiting, abdominal pain or gastrointestinal bleeding,...
K+ currents show the most electrophysiological variation of the major ionic currents in the heart, in that there are many different types of K+ currents carried by different channels; here only the major K+ currents will be considered. K+ concentration is greatest inside the cell and the rever...
The heart muscle needs potassium to beat properly and regulate blood pressure. The kidney is the main organ that controls the balance of potassium by removing excess potassium into the urine. When potassium levels are low (hypokalemia), you can become weak as cellular processes are impaired. ...
IT has been known for some time that vagus stimulation and acetylcholine decrease the refractory period of the frog's heart so that the muscle may be tetanized. A similar tendency to tetanization has recently been found in normal hearts....
