Abstract
IMPLICATIONS: Serum potassium concentration should be measured immediately before operation to detect hyperkalemia in heart failure patients treated with spironolactone. Renal insufficiency, advanced age, potassium supplementation, decompensated congestive heart failure, and a spironolactone dose larger than 25 mg/d increase the risk of hyperkalemia as a consequence of spironolactone therapy.Entities:
