Because of the importance of integration of this  diverse body of information, the most significant findings are brought  together in this book. \u003cbr\u003e  This body of information provides emphatic support for the importance  of high dietary potassium intake as a means of reducing the risk of  cardiovascular diseases, as it provides abundant evidence that  potassium depletion has significant, deleterious influences that  increase the risk of hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure, and  stroke. \u003cbr\u003e  At this time we have the results and data required to strongly  recommend dietary modification to increase potassium intake. But  making the recommendation will only be the first step; convincing the  population to undertake the change in eating patterns will be  challenging, and will require concerted actions by government, the  medical community, and the food and beverage industries. The outcome  promises to be well worth the investment. \u003cbr\u003e  `This book is an excellent source of current information on the many  roles of potassium in cardiovascular disease. It succinctly mixes  basic physiology and clinical aspects in a manner that will make it of  great value to both researchers and clinicians.' \u003cem\u003eNorman M.
