Add to ORKGThe sensitivity of the myocardium to alterations in its electrolyte environment has been extensively studied. Danowski and Elkinton (1951) in a detailed review on the effects of potassium on the functions of various organs and systems of the body conclude that "the heart is the most sensitive of all organs to alterations in its extracellular potassium concentration." It is now well established that the concentration of potassium in the extra cellular fluid is low (4 to 5 mEq. per liter in plasma) while the intracellular concentration is considerably higher--approximately 40 mEq. per 100 grams of cat heart tissue (Robertson and Peyser, 1951)
