A sweet tooth as the root cause of cardiac arrest
Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 10/13/09
Crean AM et al. – A 71–year–old woman was admitted with hypotension and bradycardia. An electrocardiogram showed flattened T waves and increased U wave prominence, resulting in a long QT(U) syndrome. Her initial serum potassium level was 1.6 mmol/L (all other electrolytes, including magnesium, were normal). She suffered recurrent ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation arrest requiring direct current cardioversion and high–dose intravenous potassium chloride replacement.
