Abstract
Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP) is a rare neuromuscular disorder characterized by episodes of muscle weakness and paralysis accompanied by hypokalemia. Several studies have reported the presence of cardiac arrhythmias, the majority being secondary to hypokalemia-induced changes. However, other studies have described cardiac arrhythmias that cannot be explained by hypokalemia or the diagnosis of HPP. Herein, we describe the case of a pediatric male patient with HPP and recurrent episodes of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT), followed by a systematic literature review on primary HPP and cardiac arrhythmias.
