AB Arrhythmias  may  occur  with  a  variety  of  drugs  or  toxins  (Table  38–1).  They  may  also  occur  as  a  result  of  hypoxia,  metabolic  acidosis,  or  electrolyte  imbalance  (eg,  hyperkalemia,  hypokalemia,  hypomagnesemia,  or  hypocalcemia),  or  following  exposure  to  chlorinated  solvents  or  chloral  hydrate  overdose.  Atypical  ventricular  tachycardia  (torsades  de  pointes)  is  often  associated  with  drugs  that  prolong  the  QT  interval.
