Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Background. In acute coronary syndrome (ACS), potassium levels <3.5 mEq/L are associated with ventricular arrhythmias.
Detailed explanation-2: -As K(+) currents control the repolarization process of the cardiac action potential (AP), the K(+) channel function determines membrane potential and refractoriness of the myocardium. Both gain and loss of the K(+) channel function can lead to arrhythmia.
