Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diuretics are known to cause electrolyte imbalances, particularly low potassium or hypokalemia, which can lead to cardiac arrhythmias such as tachycardias and ventricular arrhythmias. Bradycardia, or a slow heart rate, is not typically associated with diuretics. Ventricular irritability is a general term that can refer to various types of abnormal heart rhythms, some of which may be associated with diuretic use, but it is not as specific as the other options.
