Doenças cardiacas e a ingestão de agua?
Geralmente as doenças cardíacas quando devidamente monitoradas são acompanhadas por medicamentos que controlam a diurese. A ingestão de água deve ser adequada, de acordo com o tipo de doença, como por exemplo na insuficiência cardíaca. Deve ser controlado tambem OS níveis de aldosterona que quando em excesso causam retenção de sódio. ( Esta minha última informação depende de uma verficação mais pormenorizada e/ou corrigida.) De qualquer forma, não só nas doenças cardíacas como também em outros tipos de doenças, a quantidade de água ingerida deve ser mais ou menos controlad, de acordo com as condições físicas do paciente.
