Potassium Disturbances and Risk of Ventricular Fibrillation Among Patients With ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Potassium Disturbances and Risk of Ventricular Fibrillation Among Patients With ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Background Potassium disturbances per se increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation (VF). Whether potassium disturbances in the acute phase of ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are associated with VF before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is uncertain. Methods a...
