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 ...
The investigational technology uses Lead I ECG data to alert patients and clinicians of moderate to severe episodes of hyperkalemia (excess potassium in the blood) that can lead to sudden cardiac ...
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).
Which Part of the Heart Is Infarcted? Take a minute to assess this ECG tracing and decide for yourself.
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 ...
