In this episode of Good Reads, we examine a 61-year-old male with acute pancreatitis and explore how hypocalcemia presents on a 12-lead ECG. We focus on identifying key changes, particularly QT interval prolongation and ST segment findings, that signal low serum calcium levels.
We also compare hypocalcemia and hypokalemia, highlighting their distinct effects on the QT interval and helping you refine your approach to electrolyte-related ECG interpretation.
