Abstract
Congestive heart failure is associated with lowered Na, lowered chloride, and higher K average concns. in saliva. Studies of subjects on regular diets emphasize the lowered saliva Na and chloride concns. in congestive heart failure, but tend to minimize the higher K concns. Salivas of subjects on salt-poor diets do not show significant difference in electrolyte conens. between congestive heart failure subjects and controls. There is no relationship between serum electrolyte conens. and those of saliva.Keywords
