Preventing K+ decline blunts QTc dispersion rise during hemodialysis; hypothesis-generating for arrhythmia risk in uremic patients.
Does potassium removal during hemodialysis increase QTc dispersion in uremic patients?
Potassium removal during the diffusive process of hemodialysis is the primary driver of increased QTc dispersion, highlighting the need for careful potassium management in uremic patients at high risk of arrhythmias.
Cupisti et al. (1999) studied this question.
