Electrocardiogram
Electrocardiogram, also known as EKG or ECG, is a common diagnostic technique for people with hypokalemia. The procedure involves the monitoring of your heart’s functions for any signs of disease or damage. Your doctor might need to shave some skin parts before starting if you have lots of hair. After that, many electrical leads will be placed on the legs, chest, and arms. Each unit can transmit electrical signals about your heart to a display in 10 to 15 minutes. You need to stay still to ensure precise signals and results. Based on the provided information, your doctor would determine some possible causes or problems related to hypokalemia. [12]
