Both plasma potassium ([K]) and epinephrine concentrations have been known to increase during exercise and decrease rapidly shortly after exercise; in addition, it is also known that exercise can promote coronary thrombosis in human and animal subjects. Many studies have shown that epinephrine has a stimulatory effect on coronary thrombosis; however, little information is available concerning the effect of raising plasma [K] on coronary thrombosis. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of raising plasma [K] and its interaction with epinephrine infusion on coronary thrombosis.
