Hyperkalemia can cause life-threatening arrhythmia, and thus recognizing related patterns on the ECG is crucial. The ECG findings of hyperkalemia change as the potassium level increases ...

Hyperkalemia is when you have very high levels of potassium and it comes on suddenly. If it comes on without warning, and is ...

One of the significant complications associated with CKD is the disturbance of potassium levels in the body, leading to conditions such as hyperkalemia (high potassium levels) and hypokalemia (low ...

In combination, these findings aroused the suspicion of hyperkalemia. Furthermore, the ECG software double-counted the QRS complexes, as it misleadingly counted T waves too (151 bpm; red box/arrow).

Peaked T waves best seen in the precordial leads, shortened QT interval and, sometimes, ST segment depression. Widening of the QRS complex. This usually requires a potassium level of 6.5 or ...
