Overview

An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of Hypokalemia, an etiology of metabolic alkalosis. Findings on an ECG diagnostic of Hypokalemia include Depression in ST segment with decreased T wave and , prominent U wave, and prolonged PR interval with widened QRS .

Electrocardiogram

• An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of Hypokalemia, an etiology of metabolic alkalosis. Findings on an ECG diagnostic of Hypokalemia include:
  • Depression in ST segment with decreased T wave
  • prominent U wave,
  • prolonged PR interval with widened QRS.
