Overview

Milk-alkali syndrome causes hypercalcemia and hypercalcemia may cause the following findings on electrocardiogram (ECG): shortened QT interval (the most common finding), shortened ST segment, PR prolongation, increased amplitude of QRS complex, decreased amplitude of T wave, T wave notching, transient ST segment elevation, bradycardia, sinus arrest, and ventricular arrhythmias.

Electrocardiogram

Milk-alkali syndrome causes hypercalcemia and hypercalcemia may cause the following findings on electrocardiogram (ECG):

• Shortened QT interval (the most common finding)
• Shortened ST segment
• PR prolongation
• Increased amplitude of QRS complex
• Decreased amplitude of T wave
• T wave notching
• Elevation of J point
• Transient ST segment elevation
• Osborn wave
• Bradycardia, sinus arrest, and premature ectopic beats
• Ventricular arrhythmias
