Abstract:

Cardiovascular diseases are  common and costly medical condition.     Nowadays, combination of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) with aldosterone receptor blocker is used to treat patients with heart failure or hypertension. Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are an alternative for patients who cannot tolerate angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors because of their cost and side effects (e.g., cough). Unfortunately these drugs may lead to increase in morbidity and mortality dependent on severe hyperkalemia. The review  aims to evaluate the therapeutics and demographic features of patients with hyperkalemia. These cases revealed, close monitoring of blood chemistry is mandatory after starting spironolactone.CHF patients taking angiotensin receptor blocker and spironolactone were taken and their effect of serum potassium were considered.
