An Abnormal Electrocardiogram in One Case with the Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Abstract

An abnormal electrocardiogram was observed in a patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Electrocardiographic changes consisted of elevated S-T segments, prolongation of the Q-T interval, diphasic T-waves, deeply inverted T-waves and prominent U-waves. No correlation between these changes and the severity of the patient was detectable. These electrocardiographic changes were not associated with electrolyte disorder and coronary artery disease. Two points of bleeding were revealed in postmortem examination, but which lesion was responsible for this electrocardiographic changes was not decided.
