In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a study on sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) for managing hyperkalemia in heart failure patients on mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) like spironolactone. While SZC effectively reduced hyperkalemia and allowed higher spironolactone doses, concerns over worsening heart failure events highlight the complex balance between treatment benefits and risks.
