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.
An inverse correlation between the serum catecholamines and potassium levels suggests that a catecholamine surge following SAH plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypokalemia during the acute phase of SAH.
• Female sex and hypokalemia are independent risk factors for severe QTc prolongation in patients with 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.
