Interestingly, Reid and coworkers [ 28 ] showed that serum infused-adrenaline caused not only hypokalemia but also a prolongation in the QTc interval in normal volunteers, which appears to be highly consistent with the present findings in patients with SAH.
We could not assess other factors that have shown to be associated with atrial fibrillation, such as hypokalemia or calcified aortic/mitral valves, [ 41 ] although there are many similarities between the risk factors for valvular heart disease and atrial fibrillation in chronic dialysis patients.
In a previous preliminary study [ 3 ] , we suggested that women may be more prone than men to develop both hypokalemia and prolongation in the corrected QT (QTc) interval on the first day of SAH.
Women are more susceptible to hypokalemia, especially that due to diuretics [ 23 24 ] or SAH [ 3 ] . Considering that hypokalemia causes a prolongation in the QTc interval [ 4 7 8 9 25 ] , the sex-specific difference in ventricular repolarization described above might result from the sex-related difference in serum potassium levels.
Kleinfeld and coworkers [ 27 ] demonstrated that elderly women were more vulnerable to hypokalemia, and indicated that this was possibly due to age- and sex-associated differences in body mass composition, which might result in a physiologically low total exchangeable body potassium.
