EKG Changes with Electrolyte Abnormalities

This document provides a detailed overview of how electrolyte imbalances, such as hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, hypermagnesemia, hypomagnesemia, hypercalcemia, and hypocalcemia, affect EKG readings. It highlights key changes to watch for, such as widened QRS complexes, prolonged PR intervals, and altered T waves, as well as the associated risks like ventricular fibrillation and torsades de pointes. Ideal for healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of EKG interpretation in relation to electrolyte abnormalities.
