Echocardiographic parameters and plasmatic Na+ and K+ concentration. A Representative echocardiography image of the left ventricle (LV) from one rat per group. LV-end systolic diameter (LVESD, yellow arrow) and LV-end diastolic diameter (LVEDD, red arrow). B LVEDD. C LVESD. D LV-end diastolic volume (LVEDV). E LV-end systolic volume (LVESV) (F) Stroke volume (SV). G Ejection fraction (EF). Note that K+ dietary supplementation has no effects on cardiac diameters and volumes in CHF condition. (H) Daily food (g/day/rat) and I water intake (ml/rat/day) in Sham, CHF and CHF+K+ groups. J Summary data showing sodium (Na+) and K potassium (K+) ion concentration (mmol/L) in all groups. Note that Na+ concentration decreases in CHF+K+ while K+ concentration is significantly higher. *p < 0.05 vs Sham, #p < 0.05 vs CHF.Holm Sidak post hoc after One-Way ANOVA, n = 5 rats
