ECG variations in electrolyte imbalances, specifically focusing on changes caused by calcium and potassium levels. Here's an interpretation:
1. Potassium (K) imbalances:
Elevated potassium (K↑) can cause changes in the T wave (e.g., peaked T waves).
Low potassium (K↓) might lead to flattened T waves or the appearance of U waves.
2. Calcium (Ca ) imbalances:
Increased calcium (Ca ↑) shortens the QT interval (due to ST segment shortening).
Decreased calcium (Ca ↓) prolongs the QT interval.
