text: Yo, check it out, I got a story to tell
  'Bout the arrhythmogenic potential that got us dwell
  In the realm of diuretic-induced hypokalemia
  In patients with hypertension, it's a controversial dilemma
  
  Thirty-two hypertensive patients in the mix
  Previous hypokalemia got 'em in a fix
  24-hour ambulatory ECG monitoring check
  Normal exercise testing, yeah, they passed the test
  
  Group 1, we got 'em on that hydrochlorothiazide
  A hundred milligrams daily, gotta ride the tide
  Inducing hypokalemia, that's the aim
  While Group 2 tries a combo to maintain
  
  HCTZ with amiloride, that's the plan
  Keepin' plasma potassium levels in command
  But Group 1A, they had increased VEA
  During HCTZ therapy, things went astray
  
  One patient from Group 1, yo, they lost their life
  Sudden death, autopsy revealed the strife
  Arrhythmic demise, it was a sad scene
  But we gotta keep it real, that's what autopsy means
  
  Six patients from Group 1 had increased VEA
  With HCTZ treatment, they went astray
  But amiloride and potassium chloride came through
  Reduced VEA, that's what these treatments do
  
  Group 2, they didn't see a significant rise
  In VEA, they were wise and realized
  Diuretic therapy messes with electrolytes
  That's the root cause, yo, that's what incites
  
  So there you have it, the story is told
  Diuretic-induced hypokalemia, it's bold
  Causing VEA through electrolyte changes, you see
  That's the conclusion we reached, it's as real as can be
