In a retrospective study, we observed that hypokalaemia was common in the acute phase of myocardial infarction, that it was associated with serious ventricular arrhythmias and a high mortality, and that it could not be attributed solely to diuretic therapy. We suggested that it was due to an intracellular shift of potassium, possibly in response to increased catecholamine secretion.'It is accepted that adrenal medullary catecholamines have a role in potassium homeostasis": when adrenaline is infused into normal subjects, the resulting hypokalaemia occurs within 30 min of the commencement of the infusion and returns to normal over 1-2 h following cessation of the infusion. This hypokalaemia has thus been described as' transient'v/Like this experimentally-induced hypoka-
