Elevated extracellular potassium concentrations cause a non-membrane potential-dependent depression of the maximum rate of depolarization in ventricular myocardium.

May exacerbate conduction slowing in hyperkalemia beyond depolarization effects; leaves open translation to human arrhythmia risk.
Kishida et al. (1979) studied this question.
