Potassium deficiency can result in irregular heart rhythms including bradycardia (slow heart rate), ventricular tachycardia (rapid ventricular systole), and ventricular fibrillation (asynchronous ventricular depolarization resulting in disorganized cardiac electrical activity). How would you expect ventricular tachycardia to impact stroke volume?
