Urinary Sodium and Potassium, and Risk of Ischaemic and Haemorrhagic Stroke (INTERSTROKE): a case-control study.
CONCLUSION: The association of sodium intake and stroke is J-shaped, with high sodium intake a stronger risk factor for intracerebral haemorrhage than ischemic stroke. Our data suggest that moderate sodium intake - rather than low sodium intake - combined with high potassium intake may be associated with the lowest risk of stroke and expected to be a more feasible combined dietary target.

Severe Hyperkalemia Masquerading as Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Case Report
We report a case of a 63-year-old Caucasian woman, who was admitted to Namazi Hospital, affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (Shiraz, Iran) in August 2019. The patient suffered from left-sided weakness and slurred speech for one hour prior to admission. Initially, the patient was treated for acute ischemic stroke, and an intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV-rTPA) was prescribed. However, further investigations showed severe hyperkalemia. Hemiparesis and slurred speech improved significantly with appropriate management of hyperkalemia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case...

Dietary potassium: A key mediator of the cardiovascular response to dietary sodium chloride
Abstract: Potassium and sodium share a yin/yang relationship in the regulation of blood pressure (BP). BP is directly associated with the total body sodium and negatively correlated with the total body potassium. Epidemiologic, experimental, and clinical studies have shown that potassium is a significant regulator of BP and further improves cardiovascular outcomes. Hypertensive cardiovascular damage, stroke, and stroke-related death are accelerated by salt intake but might be curbed by increasing dietary potassium intake. The antihypertensive effect of potassium supplementation appears to occur through several mechanisms t...

The effect of ramipril and telmisartan on serum potassium and its association with cardiovascular and renal events: Results from the ONTARGET trial
Conclusions With the precautions stipulated by the protocol of the ONTARGET trial, hypokalemia and hyperkalemia were infrequent events. Nevertheless, both high and low serum potassium were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and renal disease.

Inotropic Effects of Nicorandil on Cardiac Contractility Assessed by Left Ventricular Pressure–Volume Relationship Analyses in Anesthetized Monkeys
This study was conducted to clarify the functional, hemodynamic, and electrophysiological effects of nicorandil using ventricular pressure–volume loop analysis in isoflurane-anesthetized monkeys. Nicorandil was given intravenously at therapeutic doses of 0.2 and 2 mg/kg over 10 minutes to cynomolgus monkeys (n = 5) with a pause of 10 minutes between the 2 doses. Nicorandil at 0.2 mg/kg caused decreases in systemic blood pressure and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure by its vasodilating action. Nicorandil at 2 mg/kg also exhibited positive inotropic action demonstrated by increased slopes of preload recruitable stro...

Electrophysiological effects of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants on atrial repolarizing potassium channels
Conclusion  Apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban did not exhibit direct functional interactions with human atrial K+ channels underlyingIKr,IKur,Ito,IK1, andIK2P currents that could account for beneficial clinical outcome associated with the drugs. Indirect or chronic effects and potential underlying signalling mechanisms remain to be investigated.
