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.
