Two representative patients with serum potassium levels (in mEq/L) and associated electrocardiograms (EKGs). In both patients, observed hyperkalemic EKG changes include peaking of the T waves, QRS widening, lengthening of the PR interval, and flattening of the P wave. Note in patient No. 1 that EKG changes resolve despite persistent elevated serum potassium.
