Summary: This study investigates actively increasing plasma potassium levels to the high-normal range in high-risk ICD patients to reduce ventricular arrhythmias. The multicenter trial in Denmark aims to determine if maintaining high-normal potassium levels reduces arrhythmia risk in this vulnerable population.
