Iatrogenic hyperkalemia induced failure of a normally functioning transvenous pacemaker to effect a ventricular response in a patient with a high threshold.
Iatrogenic hyperkalemia can induce failure of a normally functioning transvenous pacemaker to effect a ventricular response, particularly in patients with a high baseline threshold.
Hyperkalemia may cause pacing failure despite normal device function in high-threshold patients; hypothesis-generating and requires confirmation beyond case reports.
