Hyperkalemic left bundle branch block and hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism (hyperkalemic left bundle branch block).
A 70-year-old woman was admitted to the intensive coronary care unit with suspected myocardial infarction. During the follow-up period, the patient twice developed left bundle branch block, which was shown to be related to high serum potassium levels secondary to hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism and moderate renal failure.
