Electrolytes, such as sodium, play a crucial role in maintaining proper functioning of the body, including the heart. In cardiac patients, imbalances in sodium levels can lead to adverse effects. High sodium levels can cause fluid retention, leading to increased workload on the heart and potential hypertension. On the other hand, low sodium levels can disrupt electrical signaling in the heart, leading to arrhythmias and even cardiac arrest. Hence, maintaining appropriate electrolyte balance, particularly sodium, is critical for the optimal functioning of the heart in cardiac patients.

Can electric current pass through alcohol Explain?
Yes, alcohol is a liquid and has delocalised electrons which can carry the electrical current. Edited: Seriously? Unless there are impurities in the alcohol that are electrolytes, alcohol will NOT conduct an electric current. Alcohols are considered as NON ELECTROLYTES, as they do not ionize and thus will not conduct a current. (Dr.J.)
