Why does hyperkalemia cause cardiac arrhythmias? What causes pressure to build during isovolumetric ventricular contraction? What is an ectopic pacemaker? What would be the effect on the heart rate if an ectopic pacemaker took over for the SA node?
Metabolic abnormalities includinghypocalcemia(low levels of calcium),hypothyroidism(insufficientthyroid hormones),hypoxemia(insufficient oxygen in your blood),hyperkalemia(highpotassiumlevels), andhypokalemia(lower than normal levels of potassium) The Heart's Electrical System: Anatomy and Function Risk Factors ...
