T-wave inversion in diabetic ketoacidosis with normokalemia in an adolescent.
Myriad electrocardiographic changes, such as ST-segment elevation/depression, altered T-wave morphology, and QT prolongation, have been described with hyperkalemia in the setting of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) [2, 3]. We present an adolescent with DKA in whom T-wave inversions was seen despite his having normal serum potassium level.
