A potassium of 7.1 mEq/L is severe hyperkalaemia. The earliest ECG sign is tall peaked T waves, followed by PR prolongation, flattened P waves and a widened QRS.
- U waves (with flat T and ST depression) are the sign of hypokalaemia.
- AF and sinus tachycardia are not characteristic; hyperkalaemia tends to slow conduction and heart rate.
