A member asked:
My potassium, serum level was marked as low at (3.5.) i have a cardiac arrhythmia. can this level potassium worsen it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Normal lab values": A value of 3.5 is "low normal". If there is a concern for cardiac rhythm disturbances a value of 4.0 is preferred. Below 3.5 increases risk of arrhythmia.
