Abstract

Background: Persistent hypokalaemia influences cardiac structure and function, but its zonal effect on myocardial remodeling is not definite. This study quantitatively examined myocardial tissue zones in chronic hypokalaemia, to build a schematic model of myocardial remodeling. Methods: This a cross-sectional analytical study (March to September 2022) was carried out in Department of Histopathology including Sixty postmortem myocardial samples from patients with chronic hypokalemia (serum K+
