Electrophysiology of Hypokalemia and Hyperkalemia [PDF]

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2017
Potassium (K+) was first isolated as an element in 1807 by Sir Humphrey Davy when he electrolyzed potash (plant ashes soaked in pots of water), for which its name is derived. Despite the organic origin of its isolation, however, K+’s role in biology was not elucidated until the 20th century.

Hyperkalemia: Prevalence, Predictors and Emerging Treatments

Cardiology and Therapy, 2022
It is well established that an elevated potassium level (hyperkalemia) is associated with a risk of adverse events including morbidity, mortality and healthcare system cost. Hyperkalemia is commonly encountered in many chronic conditions including kidney

Early administration of SGLT2 inhibitors in hospitalized patients: A practical guidance from the current evidence

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors represent one of the main cornerstones of heart failure treatment. Nevertheless, while the cardiovascular beneficial effects of these drugs have been clearly demonstrated by several clinical trials, in clinical practice, it remains challenging to identify the appropriate timing to start SGLT2 ...
