Hyperkalemia with serum potassium of 7.5 mEq/L





Serum potassium > 7.0  mEq/L is associated with conduction abnormalities and bradycardia:
  • Prolonged QRS interval with bizarre QRS morphology
  • High-grade AV block with slow junctional and ventricular escape rhythms
  • Any kind of conduction block (bundle branch blocks, fascicular blocks)
  • Sinus bradycardia or slow AF
  • Development of a sine wave appearance (a pre-terminal rhythm)
