  • Abstract
    The diagnosis and management of wide com­plex tachycardia often proves challenging. We report to you unusual presentation of hyperka­lemia as wide complex tachycardia in a dialysis patient. Its prompt treatment with calcium glu­conate and hemodialysis completely reversed this life threatening condition. Hyperkalemia should be considered in differential diagnosis of wide complex tachycardia in patients at risk.
