What sicknesses does sodium lead to?
An excess of sodium will lead to hypertension or "high blood pressure" which may cause further illness such as kidney disease, cardiovascular problems, cerebrovascular problems and other vascular diseases; also edema or "water retention" and osteoporosis in women. A low sodium intake can decrease the amount of water retention in cells and decrease function in nerve pulses and muscles. It is not recommended that you take sodium tablets though, even if you think your sodium is low. While eating your next meal you will get enough sodium.

Does an increase in ECF K plus level increase heart rate?
Potassium levels DECREASE heart rate, and maybe lead to severe cardiac arrest.and for sure, this is a mechanism of how potassium level in ECF can decrease heart rate:first, the potassium level increase in ECF making its efflux increase, due to activation of potassium channels in pacemaker cells, then the slope of pacemaker action potential will decrease, which means that the duration of one beat is prolonged, and this lead to decrease the numbers of beats in one minute, which by turn means that the heart rate is decreased.
