Your heartbeat can become irregular. All electrolyte imbalances affect bloodflow and osmotic gradient, leading to edema/dehydration/hypertension, etc.
However, K and Na are especially important because they control all muscle function and nerve signals throughout the body. The heart is a muscle, and receives nerves signals from the base of the brain.

I am not a medical professional...but from talking to the doctors / nurses that my dad deals with every day when he trys to get a potassium pill....if its too high..you could have a heart attack and die.
again..this could be total misinformation..the person you need to ask is your doctor.
