Abstract

Hypokaliaemia can be cause for beginning cardiac arrhythmias in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The aim of this investigation is to determine correlation between kalium level in serum and cardiac arrhythmias and conveying, to note down in first 24 hours in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Patients in this study attended in department of Internal medicine(coronary department ) in hospital in Health center in Kosovska Mitrovica.In this prospective study for one years we analyzed 110 patients with diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. We found that cardiac arrhythmias represented in the most noumber of patients in the first 24 hours from receiving in hospital- 83,63%.The patients have had the more noumber of complex VES(20,91%),SVT(18,18%) than other cardiac arrhythmias in the first 24 hours from their received in the hospital. The low level of kalium have note down in 9,09% patients. The comlex VES have represented in patients with low level of kalium as VF. In the presence of kalium level under the 4,0 the risk for ventricular arrhythmias is higher.SVT have had in 20% patients with acute myocardial infarction,SVB in 10%,SVES in 16%,VF in 7% patients with normal kalium level in serum as branch block and AV-block I, II, III degree. Hypokaliaemia have influence on represence of VES and VF, but have not influence on represence of supraventricular arrhythmias and the disorders of conveying.
