Which electrolyte is important for the activity of the heart muscle?
There are four electrolytes that are important to heart function, potassium, calcium, sodium and magnesium. Calcium is important in the actual contraction of the heart.
What happens if you consume too much potassium?
If you were to consume too much potassium it could mess up your mineral balance, which could lead to heart and kidney problems. In healthy individuals it has not been a problem though.You implode!!
What effect does too little potassium?

Abnormal potassium levels can indicate various health issues, including kidney problems or hormonal imbalances.
What electrolytes effect the myocardium?
The main electrolytes that affect the myocardium are potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium. Imbalances in these electrolytes can disrupt the normal electrical conduction in the heart, leading to arrhythmias and other cardiac abnormalities. Maintaining proper levels of these electrolytes is essential for normal heart function.
What is the scientific name for the contraction of the heart?
The scientific term for the contraction of the heart is "systole." This is when the heart muscle contracts to pump blood out of the heart's chambers and into the circulatory system.

Where does heart contraction begin?
The area in the heart where contraction begins is a question given by ma'am Luvim Bilango. haha..
How can electrolyte imbalance control your heart function?
Electrolytes such as Sodium and potassium help the heart contract through a process called action potential. When the heart is at -60 MV the cell will open up allowing sodium into the cardiac cells causing a contraction. Look up action potential.
What is the meaning of the two sounds of the heart?
relaxation and contraction of the heart
