Maintaining high blood potassium levels, for instance, by taking supplements, may help lower heart failure risk. Image credit: Viktoriya Skorikova/Getty Images For people at high risk of ventricular ...

The association between serum potassium levels -- even at "normal" concentrations -- and increased risk of short-term, all-cause mortality signal the critical need for more research, closer monitoring ...

Your potassium levels can indicate underlying health conditions like high blood pressure or kidney disease. A doctor may perform a potassium blood test as part of a routine physical. A potassium test ...

Swedish investigators looked at potassium levels and all-cause mortality in HFrEF patients at 30 days, 12 months, and 5 years. Over all 3 time frames, the sweet spot in terms of lowest hazard risk for ...

Targeting high-normal potassium levels reduced the risk of arrhythmias, hospitalization for heart failure or arrhythmia and death compared with no intervention, according to late-breaking research ...

For people at elevated risk of ventricular arrhythmias, sustaining high-normal potassium concentration levels lead to improved outcomes in a new randomized controlled investigation of 1,200 people ...

Serum potassium concentrations outside the normal range were associated with elevated mortality risk in patients with heart failure. Hyper- and hypokalemia in patients with heart failure (HF) are ...

This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial published in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases (AJKD) demonstrated that, compared with a reactive strategy of potassium supplementation ...

A new trial investigating high-normal serum potassium levels for people at high risk of ventricular arrhythmias delivered promising results. Compared to a control group, people with these elevated ...
