Effects of Hypokalemia and Hyperkalemia about EKG and Signs and Symptoms
Hyperkalemia results from excess potassium in the blood, while Hypokalemia results from the deficiency of potassium are referred to as Hypokalemia. Within the P wave, Hyperkalemia may lead to a flattening of it or even its disappearance. There is also a prolonged PR interval as a result of Hyperkalemia. Having a protracted QRS interval is another effect of Hyperkalemia. Another effect of Hyperkalemia is increased amplitude together with width within a T wave. Hypokalemia also has specific effects on parts that Hyperkalemia, such as increased width and amplitude, which are effects of Hypokalemia in the P wave. The prolonged PR interval is also an effect witnessed due to Hypokalemia (We...
