Abstract
The effects of some electrolyte disorders have been discussed in prior chapters: the effect of hypokalemia on the QT interval and hyperkalemia as a nonischemic cause for ST segment elevation. However, it is worthwhile to review the spectrum of ECG changes that can occur with electrolyte disorders, particularly those involving potassium and calcium.
