The ECG shown demonstrates classic hypokalemia changes, which include:
-
Flattened or inverted T waves
-
Prominent U waves (extra wave after the T wave)

Prolonged QU interval

Sometimes mild QT prolongation
These features are visible in the ECG provided, especially the prominent U waves in the precordial leads (V2–V5).
