Hypokalemia unmasking underlying premature ventricular contraction induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia: Low potassium is not always the culprit!

Hypokalemia is prevalent in patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and can contribute to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT) by prolonging the QT interval. We present an interesting scenario of malignant ventricular arrythmia initially attributed to moderate hypokalemia tha...
