Hypoparathyroidism leads to abnormally low levels of calcium (hypocalcemia) and increased levels of phosphorus (hyperphosphatemia) in the body. Hypoparathyroidism is a condition where the body produces low levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), eventually leading to hypocalcemia (abnormally low calcium ...
Hemolysis can alter the result of different parameters, including potassium with abnormal high results or masking low levels (hypokalemia) when reporting normal concentrations. Severe hyperkalemia is associated with the risk of potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmia and demands emergency clinical interven...
cytomegalovirus infection Following 12 months of postoperative observation, a noteworthy improvement in serum aldosterone-renin ratio (ARR), potassium levels, and the dosage of antihypertensive drugs was evident in each group, each exhibiting statistical significance (p<0.05). Patients with APA ...
Use of potassium iodide during pregnancy can cause fetal harm. Thyroid Blood Tests Thyroid blood tests determine the adequacy of the levels of thyroid hormones in in a patient. The blood tests can determine if the thyroid gland's hormone production is normal, overactive, or underactive. The ...
Mineraldeficiency:Extremely low magnesium or potassium levels in the blood. The electrical mechanism of your heart depends on theseminerals. Extreme blood loss Severe oxygen deficiency Genetic disorders can result in cardiac arrhythmias Changes in the structure of your heart caused by disease or infectio...
PMVT-related RyR2 mutations are associated with both some gain- and loss-of-function. Interestingly, a novel reported heterozygous mutation RyR2-F4174I in a 17 years old Caucasian patient caused polymorphic VT both at rest and under stress conditions. This mutation may cause arrhythmia independently...
Potassium supplementation was required by a number of patients into the recovery/convalescent phase of illness, and we believe hypokalaemia induced cardiac arrhythmia may be the cause of sudden death in recovering patients that was reported by other clinicians (Dr. M Jalloh – personal communication...
Hemolysis can alter the result of different parameters, including potassium with abnormal high results or masking low levels (hypokalemia) when reporting normal concentrations. Severe hyperkalemia is associated with the risk of potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmia and demands emergency clinical intervention. ...
Conclusions In this case, we prevented lethal arrhythmia by maintaining the serum potassium concentration by increasing the dialysate potassium concentration, in addition to the use of anti-arrhythmic agents. In the acute phase of patients with frequent lethal arrhythmia undergoing hemodialysis, an ...
Cardiac sympathetic nerves are over-excited after MI [1,2], and the accumulation of neurotransmitters is an important cause and mechanism of arrhythmia after MI [3,4]. The superior cervical ganglion (SCG) is an important extracardiac ganglion that participates in the regulation of heart function...
