Can anyone tell me which ecg abnomalities can possibly be found in case of severe hyperglycemia.
I can imagine the signs of hyperkalemia because potassium moves from from intracellular to extracellular, but any others ? And why ?
thanks

 Hi Jacques,
There are no specific EKG findings for hyperglycemia that I am aware of. There can be changes in association with what ever is causing the hyperglycemia.
If the potassium is elevated one can see peaked T waves and a few other changes but these are not related directly to hyperglycemia.
Best wishes.
