Article Synopsis
- * An 85-year-old woman taking several medications developed severe hyperkalemia, leading to symptoms like low blood pressure and slow heart rate.
- * After an emergency diagnosis confirmed her high potassium level, she received treatment and hemodialysis, which resulted in her recovery.
Background: The 2009 "AHA/ACCF/HRS Recommendations for Standardization and Interpretation of the Electrocardiogram" state that left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) criteria that include R-wave amplitude in leads I and aVL are not likely reliable in the presence of left anterior fascicular block (LAFB). This statement was referenced to three relatively small studies. The present study reexamines the utility of selected electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for LVH in the presence of LAFB.
