Heart failure (HF) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients are frequently not administered renin-angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) therapies at recommended doses due to hyperkalaemia, despite proven mortality and morbidity benefits. Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) is a nonabsorbed potassium binder proven to lower serum potassium (S-K) and maintain normokalaemia. The purpose is to assess if a treatment regimen containing SZC will allow RAASi therapies to be optimized to target doses in patients with heart failure, chronic kidney disease and elevated serum potassium or at risk of developing elevated serum potassium.
