Answers:
Electrolyte's are Potassium, Calcium, Sodium, etc!.!.!.
Abnormal values in any of these can cause serious heart problems!.!.!.because your heart is a muscle & electrolyte balance is what keeps muscle functioning correctly!. These things should be monitored closely if you are having cardiac problems!. Electrolyte imbalances can cause serious dysrythmias (abnormal heart beats) that are dangerous!. FYI Potassium Chloride is what is used to stop the heart during lethal injection!.
