Role of Potassium in Preventive Cardiovascular Medicine:
Information related to this question has accumulated for nearly a
hundred years, from work in cellular physiology, experimental
studies in animals, clinical trials, and from population and
epidemiological investigations. Because of the importance of
integration of this diverse body of information, the most
significant findings are brought together in this book. This body
of information provides emphatic support for the importance of high
dietary potassium intake as a means of reducing the risk of
cardiovascular diseases, as it provides abundant evidence that
potassium depletion has significant, deleterious influences that
increase the risk of hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure,
and stroke. At this time we have the results and data required to
strongly recommend dietary modification to increase potassium
intake. But making the recommendation will only be the first step;
convincing the population to undertake the change in eating
patterns will be challenging, and will require concerted actions by
government, the medical community, and the food and beverage
industries. The outcome promises to be well worth the investment.
`This book is an excellent source of current information on the
many roles of potassium in cardiovascular disease. It succinctly
mixes basic physiology and clinical aspects in a manner that will
make it of great value to both researchers and clinicians.' Norman
M. Kaplan, M.D., Professor of Internal Medicine, University of
Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX
