More potassium seems to even help those already treated to a maximal extent.

Eat your high potassium veggies if you have arrhythmia.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20 - 25% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

Be very careful with potassium if you have kidney problems.

I had atrial fibrillation for two solid years.

My cardiologist wanted me to drink at least 64 ounces of fluid every day.

I had a hard time drinking that much water, so I started drinking 64 ounces of low-sodium V8 Juice, every day.

Within a couple of weeks my afib reverted to normal sinus rhythm per my Kardia Mobile ecg device, and I have been in normal sinus rhythm for 380 days (more than a year for those of you in Rio Linda).

Turns out low-sodium V8 is loaded with potassium.

I am still drinking it.

Merely anecdotal evidence, but there it is

Interestingly, OTC potassium supplements are limited to 99mg. Yet Rx pills are typically 750-1500 mg, meaning that the OTC versions are piddley small.

By comparison, one cup of V8 or one bottle of Naked brand Mango Madness each contain about 650 mg K.
