Patients taking renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) medications for heart failure had significantly lower blood potassium levels when taking patiromer—a drug that helps to prevent ...

A panelist discusses how the FINEARTS-HF trial employed rigorous potassium-monitoring protocols and predefined hyperkalemia thresholds to evaluate finerenone's safety profile in patients with heart ...

Hyperkalemia is a potentially life-threatening side effect of RAASi use. Individuals with heart failure are particularly susceptible because heart failure itself can cause hyperkalemia. “Several ...

Hyperkalemia is a common occurrence in patients with congestive heart failure, particularly when renal failure coexists. The level of renal function in congestive heart failure is often difficult to ...

MINNEAPOLIS — A reduced risk for death may balance out concerns about hyperkalemia when treating heart failure with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists ...

A recent analysis explored whether potassium monitoring could be used as a prognostic tool in the setting of incident HF. The study showed higher incidence of mortality in the dyskalemia ranges, and ...

Hyperkalemia is a potentially serious condition that can result in life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and is associated with an increased mortality risk. Patients older than 65 years who have an ...

Hyperkalemia is a common electrolyte disorder, especially among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus, or heart failure. 1–3 Hyperkalemia represents one of the most important ...

Finerenone use in trial patients with HFpEF or HFmrEF increased hyperkalemia risk, especially in those with CKD. Finerenone use in patients with heart failure and preserved or mildly reduced ejection ...

G_hyperkalemia_web How much do your patients know about the dangers of high potassium levels in the body? They may know that potassium is good for you, or that you need specific levels of it in the ...

From apps that diagnose irregular heart rhythms to phone cases that claim to measure blood pressure, there has been a wave of technology promising to use our everyday devices — smartphones and ...
