Aims Diuretic treatment is often needed in acute heart failure following myocardial infarction
(MI) and carries a risk of abnormal potassium levels. We examined the relation between …

Aims Medication prescribed to patients suffering from chronic heart failure carries an
increased risk of impaired potassium homeostasis. We examined the relation between …

Imbalances in potassium homeostasis are significantly associated with cardiovascular
disease events and mortality [1, 2]. Data linking hypokalemia with arrhythmia and cardiac …

Serum potassium is routinely measured at admission for acute heart failure (AHF), but
information on association with clinical variables and prognosis is limited. Potassium …

Potassium plays a key role in normal myocardial function, and current guidelines
recommend that serum potassium levels be maintained from 4.0 to 5.0 mEq/L in patients …

Background The interaction between chronic medications on admission and the association
between serum potassium level and outcome in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) are …

Background Challenging clinical practice guidelines that recommend serum potassium
concentration between 4.0–5.0 mEq/L or≥ 4.5 mEq/L in patients with acute myocardial …

Potassium levels are often abnormal in patients with heart failure (HF) and have a
detrimental effect on clinical outcome. We evaluated potassium levels in a real-world cohort …

Aims Potassium homeostasis is essential for normal myocardial function, and low serum
potassium may cause fatal arrhythmias. However, the association of low potassium and long …

Aims At present, the clinical burden of hypokalaemia and hyperkalaemia among European
heart failure patients, and relationships between serum potassium and adverse clinical …
