DOI: 10.1016/j.ipej.2019.12.006
Abstract: Hypokalemia is prevalent in patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and can contribute to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT) by prolonging the QT interval. We present an interesting scenario of malignant ventricular arrythmia initially attributed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000013608
Abstract: Rationale: Primary aldosteronism (PA) with hypokalemia increases the risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Cases of PA with malignant arrhythmia as the first symptom have been reported. The role of severe hypokalemia in triggering malignant ventricular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00680.2017
Abstract: Intense exercise induces pronounced hyperkalemia, followed by transient hypokalemia in recovery. We investigated whether the β2 agonist salbutamol attenuated the exercise hyperkalemia and exacerbated the postexercise hypokalemia, and whether hypokalemia was associated with impaired cardiac… read more here.
