Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess the incidence of Hypokalemia among patients hospitalized in the at the Department Of Cardiology Hmc Peshawar, for the treatment of acute [MI]. Study design and setting A single-center study at, Department Of Cardiology Hmc Peshawar. Material & Methods: the study was conducted in department of Cardiology Hmc Peshawar from January 01, 2021, to  06 June, 2021) A total of 414 patients participated in this trial—detailed backstory, standard probing, etc. ECGs confirmed a heart attack diagnosis. Hypokalemia was checked for by drawing 5 mL of venous blood from each patient and sending them to the hospital  lab. All laborator y tests were supervised by the same consulting pathologist with at least five years of experience. Hypokalemia is diagnosed when the serum potassium level falls below 3.6 mmol/L. Results: The average age of the patients in this study was 63, with a standard deviation of 07.04 years; 240 (58%) were male, and 174 (42%) were female. Analysis of individuals with and without Hypokalemia revealed that 84 (19%) had Hypokalemia and 372 (90%) did not.
