ECG �C A Pictorial Primer. Serum potassium is the major intracellular ion that participates in the depolarization and repolarization of myocardial cells. Hence its serum concentration has a profound effect on the QRS and ST-T complex. Narrow and tall peaked T wave (A) is an early sign of hyperkalemia.
