Sodiun, Potassium and Magnesium Balance During Recovery from Congestive Heart

AIrTHOIUGH excessive secretion of the salt-retaininlg corticoid, aldosterone, appears to be responsible for the ultimate retention of sodium in congestive heart failure,' 2, 3 the exact mechanism whereby the adrenal cortex is stimulated to secrete this steroid is not known. It is entirely conceivable that following cardiac and circulatory failure, an altered physicochemical balance of certain v...
