Recent studies of these disorders indicate a strong genetic component but specific aetiologies and pathogeneses are usually unknown (1–3). Concordance for ASD is 90% in identi...
متن کاملCommon Electrolyte Disorders: Hyponatremia
Hospital Physician January 2009 23 Hyponatremia represents an abnormal ratio of total body sodium to water and is commonly defined as a plasma sodium concentration less than 135 mEq/L (1 mEq/L = 1 mmol/L).1–7 Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality in hospitalized patients, with mild hyponatremia (plasma sodium < 135 mEq/L) present in approximately 15% to 22% of patients, modera...
متن کاملElectrolyte disorders and arrhythmogenesis.
Electrolyte disorders can alter cardiac ionic currents kinetics and depending on the changes can promote proarrhythmic or antiarrhythmic effects. The present report reviews the mechanisms, electrophysiolgical (EP), electrocardiographic (ECG), and clinical consequences of electrolyte disorders. Potassium (K⁺) is the most abundent intracellular cation and hypokalemia is the most commont electroly...
