Ventricular arrhythmias and hypokalaemia.

P Curry, D Fitchett, W Stubbs, D Krikler.   

Abstract

Two cases of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia (torsade de pointes) due to chronic mild hypokalaemia, caused by hyperaldosteronism and familial periodic paralysis are described. Correction of the hypokalaemia, supplemented by mexiletine, controlled the arrhythmias.
