Analyzing outcomes across all studies, researchers found that patients following a diet with a sodium intake target below 2.5 grams per day were 80% more likely to die than those following a diet with a target o
Approximately one-half of patients with heart failure have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and there is no effective treatment (1). During exercise, the normal left ventricle can fill to a larger diastolic volume with no increase in pressure, but in individuals with HFpEF...
limits the development of maximal seizure activity, and reduces the spread of seizures.55They include:carbamazepine;56phenytoin, which also reduces Ca2+currents;57oxcarbazepine;58,59lamotrigine, which also reducesglutamaterelease and blocks Ca2+channels;60,61andzonisamide, which also blocks T-type Ca2+...
Heart failure (HF), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are common and interrelated conditions, each with a significant burden of disease. HF and kidney disease progress through pathophysiologic pathways that culminate in en
Heart failure shockliver function alcoholbabies. Large amounts of benzyl alcohol have been associated with potentially fatal toxicity (gasping syndrome) in neonates. Some formulations may contain propylene glycol which can be toxic in large amounts, use with caution. ...
Thus, it decreases both peripheral vascular resistance and venous return to the heart. This action limits the increase in cardiac output that normally follows vasodilator therapy. Sodium nitroprusside does not inhibit sympathetic reflexes, so heart rate may increase following its administration even ...

He pointed out that various groups recommend daily limits on sodium consumption—1.5 g for the American Heart Association, 2 g for the World Health Organization (WHO), and 2.3 g for the European Society of Cardiology—that were associated with short life expectancy and increased mortality compared...
Intracellular potassium stores can be depleted in a variety of clinical conditions commonly seen in elderly patients (metabolic and respiratory acidosis, congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, and uremia) with serum potassium concentrations remaining within normal limits. Dietary potassium is found in a ...
