A 50yo pt with h/o of
HTN, DM and end-stage renal disease is
admitted due to dyspnea and change in sensorium.

This looked like the
REALLY WIDE QRS tachycardia mentioned in Dr. Amal Mattu's blog --->>>
Consider toxic/metabolic causes. The K came back 8.5 (hyperkalemia). Because of
the dyspnea, pt was intubated and
calcium gluconate, NaHCO3, insulin and kayexalte were given. Patient was
dialyzed. After a few days pt was discharged improved.
