Eating more potassium foods can help reduce risk Heart problems.
The study, presented last month at a major heart conference in Madrid and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found those who promoted them Potassium levels It is unlikely that hospitalization will be hospitalized for heart rhythm problems or heart failure or death from related complications.
Researchers at the University Hospital of Copenhagen, Denmark have followed 1,200 patients with arrhythmia (dysrhythmia) who already have a small implant A heart twister discharge body (ICD) on their breasts.
The average age of participants was 62 years old, with 19.8% of them being female.
The study participants had a high risk of arrhythmia and had implanted cardiac reversal phalange fibers that provided electrical impulses to the heart in a heart emergency. (iStock)
Participants were randomly assigned to a treatment designed to increase potassium levels by supplementing potassium, a mineral corticosteroid receptor antagonist (MRA), or both. They received it, too Dietary guidance and standard care to achieve high normal levels.
The second group received only standard care.
In the first group of participants, approximately 23% experienced a medical event such as dangerous rapid heart rhythm, treatment of defibrillator (shock or pacing), an unplanned Hospitalization For heart rhythm problems or heart failure, or death caused by any cause.

In the standard care group, 29.2% experienced one of the medical activities – a difference of 6.5%.
Among the 29.5% of the high normal potassium participants, unplanned hospitalization lasted for more than 24 hours, while death occurred in particular, compared with 33.2% in the standard care control group.

In hospitalization for hyperkalemia or hypokalemia, the potassium levels in the two groups were too high or two were lower, respectively, and the two were similar.
Researchers draw conclusions In patients with ICD and high-risk cardiovascular disease with arrhythmia, an increase in plasma potassium levels leads to “a significant reduction in the risk of appropriate ICD therapy, rather than standard care hospitals with arrhythmia or arrhythmia or heart disorder or heart failure or death.”

According to the press release, Dr Christian Jons of Rigshospitalet of Copenhagen University Hospital presented the findings at the Madrid conference.
“Observational studies have some evidence that low plasma potassium levels are associated with an increased risk of risk of heart rhythm changes and that potassium levels at normal levels have Protective effect,” he said.
Nutrition experts say some foods rich in potassium include bananas, avocados, oranges and other fruits, vegetables, dairy products and proteins. (iStock)
Senior writer Henning Bundgaard added that treatment-induced increase in plasma potassium “significantly reduces the burden of arrhythmia without increasing the combined risk of hyperhematoma or hypokalemia.”

“This benefit occurs in the type of cardiovascular disease, regardless of the method of increasing potassium levels,” he continued.
“We believe that it is correct to raise potassium levels to the normal range of medium and high in a wide range of patients. Cardiovascular disease It is associated with the high risk of ventricular arrhythmia. ”
