Hyperkalemia in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction: Implications and Management
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This review explores the challenge of hyperkalemia (high potassium) in heart failure patients, especially those taking renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). It discusses the importance of potassium monitoring, combining therapies like SGLT2 inhibitors with RAASi, and using newer non-steroidal MRAs and potassium binders to mitigate this risk.
