Hyperkalaemia causes a rapid reduction in resting membrane potential leading to increased cardiac depolarization, and muscle excitability which in turn causes EG changes (1).
ECG changes are usually progressive and may include:
ECG changes with hyperkalaemia do not consistently follow a stepwise, dose-dependent pattern.
