So the real QT is shorter, but the computer does not mention the U-wave, and the U-wave is as important as the T-wave in predicting cardiac dysrhythmias. IV administration of potassium is indicated when arrhythmias are present or hypokalemia is severe (potassium level of less than 2.5 This is an extremely dangerous ECG.
