Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are at increased risk for ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (SCD). The rate of SCD in CKD patients increased as glomerular filtration rate decreased. Sudden cardiac death is generally mediated by ventricular arrhythmias associated with instability of myocardial repolarization. QT variability index (QTVI) as an index of myocardial repolarizatio…
Hyperkalemia is a cathastrophic medical emergency, associated with its effect on the myocardium. This condition was reported in 1.1%-10% of patients admitted to hospital, with approximately on death per 1.000 case of hyperkalemia. Administration of calcium polystyrene sulfonate (CPS) has been proposed to be an effective method to treat hyperkalemia. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of …
