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.
