Does artificial hemodialysis reverse electrocardiographic RS-T segment elevations in patients with potassium intoxication?
Electrocardiographic changes resembling acute myocardial infarction or pericarditis caused by potassium intoxication are reversible with artificial hemodialysis.
Levine et al. (1956) studied this question.
