A 14-year old boy was forced to do numerous squats as a “punishment”. He woke up the next day with severe pain in his legs — and presented to the ED ( E mergency D epartment ). Renal function and serum electrolytes were normal — but CK was markedly elevated , leading to a diagnosis of Rhabdomyolysis. Cardiac monitoring revealed a series of interesting ( albeit asymptomatic ) rhythms, 2 of which are shown below in Figure-1.
