The spectrum of electrocardiographic changes seen with hyperkalemia is known to progress gradually with increasing serum levels of potassium. Initial changes are limited to peaked T waves and QT shortening, which subsequently progress to prolonged QRS/QT intervals, and finally sinus arrest, sinus bradycardia and asystole. We report a unique case of severe sinus bradycardia with atrial bigeminy and junctional rhythm in the setting of moderate hyperkalemia, a rarely reported electrocardiographic finding.
已知随着血清钾水平升高,高钾血症时出现的心电图变化谱会逐渐进展。初始变化仅限于T波高尖和QT间期缩短,随后进展为QRS/QT间期延长,最终出现窦性停搏、窦性心动过缓和心搏停止。我们报告了一例中度高钾血症情况下出现严重窦性心动过缓伴房性二联律和交界性心律的独特病例,这是一种罕见报道的心电图表现。
