  • Title: Arrhythmias in patients with drug toxicity, electrolyte, and endocrine disturbances.
    Author: Commerford PJ, Lloyd EA.
    Journal: Med Clin North Am; 1984 Sep; 68(5):1051-78. PubMed ID: 6387326.
    Abstract:
    The common rhythm disturbances related to electrolyte imbalance are due predominantly to abnormalities of potassium. An understanding of the mechanism underlying these abnormalities is facilitated by a brief review of normal electrical activity during impulse propagation in cardiac tissue. Also discussed are the actions of all cardioactive and antiarrhythmic drugs on membrane permeability to ions. Lastly, the nonspecific arrhythmias associated with endocrine disturbances are outlined.
