BACKGROUND: The study sought to assess the prognostic impact of potassium levels (K) in patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
METHODS: A large retrospective registry was used including all consecutive patients presenting with ventricular tachyarrhythmias on admission from 2002 to 2016. Patients with hypokalemia (i.e., K < 3.3 mmol/L), normokalemia (i.e., K 3.3-4.5 mmol/L), and hyperkalemia (i.e., K > 4.5 mmol/L) were compared applying multi-variable Cox regression models and propensity-score matching for evaluation of the primary endpoint of all-cause mortality at 3 years. Secondary endpoints were early cardiac death at 24 h, in-hospital death, death at 30 days, as well as the composite endpoint of early cardiac death at 24 h, recurrences of ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and appropriate ICD therapies at 3 years.
RESULTS: In 1990 consecutive patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias, 63% of the patients presented with normokalemia, 30% with hyperkalemia, and 7% with hypokalemia. After propensity matching, both hypokalemic (HR = 1.545; 95% CI 0.970-2.459; p = 0.067) and hyperkalemic patients (HR = 1.371; 95% CI 1.094-1.718; p = 0.006) were associated with the primary endpoint of all-cause mortality at 3 years compared to normokalemic patients. Hyperkalemia was associated with even worse prognosis directly compared to hypokalemia (HR = 1.496; 95% CI 1.002-2.233; p = 0.049). In contrast, potassium measurements were not associated with the composite endpoint at 3 years.
CONCLUSION: In patients presenting with ventricular tachyarrhythmias, normokalemia was associated with best short- and long-term survival, whereas hyperkalemia and hypokalemia were associated with increased mortality at 30 days and at 3 years.
