Subject: T-U fusion or TU fusion. also, hypocalcemia, yes. see message

found on line:
"On EKG, hypocalcemia may be signified by a lengthening of the ST segment and QT interval"

T-U fusion (from what I can find) is related to hypokalemia rather than hypocalcemia. Might take some searching?

"Other findings associated with hypokalemia include the following: The U wave and T wave merge in some cases to form a T-U wave which may be misdiagnosed as a prolonged QT interval."
