Urinary potassium excretion and risk of cardiovascular events.
CONCLUSION: In this cohort with oversampling of subjects with albuminuria at baseline, urinary potassium excretion was not independently associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events. PMID: 26984482 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Associations of Biomarker-Calibrated Sodium and Potassium Intakes With Cardiovascular Disease Risk Among Postmenopausal Women
AbstractStudies of the associations of sodium and potassium intakes with cardiovascular disease incidence often rely on self-reported dietary data. In the present study, self-reported intakes from postmenopausal women at 40 participating US clinical centers are calibrated using 24-hour urinary excretion measures in cohorts from the Women's Health Initiative, with follow-up from 1993 to 2010. The incidence of hypertension was positively related to (calibrated) sodium intake and to the ratio of sodium to potassium. The sodium-to-potassium ratio was associated with cardiovascular disease incidence during an average follow-up ...

10 Ways to Keep Your Heart Healthy
No one ever had fun visiting the cardiologist. ­Regardless of how good the doc might be, it’s always a little scary thinking about the health of something as fundamental as the heart. But there are ways to take greater control—to ensure that your own heart health is the best it can be—even if you have a family history of cardiovascular disease. Although 50% of cardiovascular-disease risk is genetic, the other 50% can be modified by how you live your life, according to Dr. Eugenia Gianos, director of Women’s Heart Health at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. “This means you can greatly ...

Analysis of the clinical features and risk factors of kidney injury in patients with chronic heart failure-a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Kidney injury occurred in more than half of the patients with CHF during hospitalization. The independent risk factors for kidney injury in the CHF patients included sex (male), hypertension, and stroke. Kidney injury was positively correlated with age and serum potassium, and negatively correlated with serum albumin, hemoglobin concentration, LVEF, and ARB application.PMID:37559657 | PMC:PMC10407521 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1016
