Dietary Potassium

01/01/2002 - "Dietary potassium is known to cause reduction in blood pressure in several models of hypertension in human and animal studies but its haematological effects are not known. "
02/01/1992 - "Epidemiologic surveys, experimental studies in animals, and clinical trials in young and middle-aged patients with hypertension indicate that dietary potassium lowers blood pressure. "
01/01/2015 - "The role of dietary potassium on salt sensitive hypertension is also summarized. "
10/01/2014 - "Incidence was compared across quartiles of dietary potassium intake, and hazard ratios were obtained from Cox proportional hazards models after adjusting for potential confounding variables, and in women with hypertension and nonhypertension separately. "
11/01/2013 - "Innovative programs that increase fruit and vegetable intake may help increase dietary potassium and reduce hypertension-related disease. "

01/01/2015 - "Independent component analysis (ICA) was applied to 20 variables indexing obesity and BP measured at baseline and during low sodium, high sodium and high sodium plus potassium dietary intervention periods. "
03/01/2007 - "On the basis of the results of clinical and clinical/observational studies, it has been recommended that more emphasis be placed on lifestyle/behavior modification (obesity, high dietary intake of fat and sodium, physical inactivity, smoking, excessive alcohol intake, low dietary potassium intake) to control BP and also to improve the efficacy of pharmacologic treatment of high BP. New classes of antihypertensive drugs and new compounds in the established drug classes are likely to widen the armamentarium available to combat hypertension. "

12/01/2006 - "An 11-month-old girl presented with hypokalaemic paralysis following a 1-month insufficiency of dietary potassium."
08/01/1985 - "The incidence of hypokalaemic paralysis in gossypol takers showed distinct regional differences, being much higher in Nanjing, where the dietary potassium level of the inhabitants was low, than in Taian, where the dietary potassium level was high. "
07/01/1980 - " The use of potassium salt at the stage of fatigability, a sure prodromal symptom of impending hypokalemic paralysis, is effective in the prevention of paralysis but for final resolution of the problem, the authors believe that increase in the dietary potassium level or even modification of the gossypol molecule may be necessary. "

01/01/2008 - "Dietary potassium supplementation improves vascular structure and ameliorates the damage caused by cerebral ischemia in normotensive rats."

07/01/2001 - "This study examines the relationship between dietary potassium intake and the risk of stroke in a representative sample of the US general population. "
07/01/2000 - "The previous finding of an association of increasing dietary potassium intake with decreasing stroke mortality has been detected only among black men and hypertensive men in this study."
03/01/2015 - "Dietary potassium (K(+)) intake has antihypertensive effects, prevents strokes, and improves cardiovascular outcomes. "
09/01/2013 - "Hypertensive cardiovascular damage, stroke, and stroke-related death are accelerated by salt intake but might be curbed by increasing dietary potassium intake. "
10/01/2011 - "Dietary potassium intake is inversely associated with risk of stroke, in particular ischemic stroke."
