Abstract
Electrolytes play a vital role in myocardial electrophysiological activities in the human body. Electrolyte disturbances can affect depolarisation and repolarisation of myocardial cells and thus result in arrhythmia. The most common electrolyte disturbance among hospitalised patients is hyponatraemia. We report on a case of an acquired immune deficiency syndrome patient with decompensated cirrhosis, who developed sinus arrest from hyponatraemia. The electrocardiogram manifestations at different sodium concentrations were also recorded in subsequent therapeutic processes.
