24 lip 2023 · High or low levels of electrolytes disrupt normal bodily functions and can lead to life-threatening complications. This article reviews the basic physiology of electrolytes and their abnormalities, and the consequences of electrolyte imbalance.
Electrolytes carry electrical charge and are maintained to tight physiological concentrations through various mechanisms to ensure appropriate heart function (see ‘Standard serum concentrations’).
28 lis 2005 · Electrolyte abnormalities are commonly associated with cardiovascular emergencies. These abnormalities may cause or contribute to cardiac arrest and may hinder resuscitative efforts. In some cases therapy for life-threatening electrolyte disorders should be initiated before laboratory results become available.
1 cze 2022 · By modulating mitochondrial function, chloride channels play an important role in cardioprotection from ischemic-reperfusion injury and cardiac function. Additionally, Jiang et al.’s study demonstrated the upregulated CLIC1,4,5 is differentially expressed in patients with atrial fibrillation.
31 gru 2019 · This document reflects the key points discussed by a panel of experts during a Heart Failure Association meeting on physiological monitoring of the complex multi-morbid HF patient, and here, we present to aspects related to renal function, electrolyte, and congestion monitoring.
17 mar 2017 · In this article, we discuss the basic science underlying the effects of both hypo- and hyperkalemia on cardiac excitability and arrhythmias.
Minor changes in serum potassium concentration can have major effects on cardiac rhythm and function. Of all the electrolytes, rapid changes in potassium concentration can cause the most immediate life-threatening consequences.
