Miscellaneous Abnormalities and Electrolyte Imbalances in Cardiac Function
This presentation discusses miscellaneous abnormalities, including electrolyte imbalances, in cardiac function. Martin Reagon and Debs Farr present on topics such as hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia, peaked T waves, P wave flattening, prolonged PR intervals, QRS widening, and increased U wave size.
