In view of evidence suggesting an association of mild hypokalaemia with cardiac arrhythmia,
the arrhythmogenic potentials of potassium losing and potassium sparing diuretic treatments …

Sixteen patients with diuretic-induced hypokalemia underwent 24-hour ambulatory
electrocardiographic monitoring during and after correction of hypokalemia. Plasma …

The focus of this article is hypokalemia, its electrophysiologic properties, and clinical
arrhythmias. The effects of potassium on the electrophysiologic properties of the heart have …

We studied 17 hypertensive men to determine the relationship of diuretic-induced
hypokalemia to ventricular ectopic activity (VEA). Blood values and 24-hour ambulatory ECG …

• Twenty patients aged 33 to 69 years with uncomplicated hypertension, no heart disease,
and normal stress test results underwent ambulatory ECG monitoring a month after receiving …

In the past, potassium depletion in both non-digitalised patients and in patients without
cardiac disease was thought to cause no adverse cardiac effects. However, several studies …

Increased plasma potassium may occur spontaneously or iatrogenically. At modest
hyperkalemia (K+∼ 5 to 7 mEq. per liter) a transient and minor acceleration of cardiac …

Electrocardiograms were recorded in 24 patients with serum potassium of 2.5 mEq./L. or
less. Only 5 (20.8%) had severe-classic changes of hypokalemia. Sixteen (66.7%) had …

Alterations in serum electrolytes may frequently accompany ischaemic heart disease. Many
of these patients are hypertensive and receive diuretic therapy which results in chronic …

A definite correlation can be established between the electrocardiogram and the serum
potassium level at hypokalemic levels. A study was made at the Mayo Clinic of 130 …
