ABSTRACT

Electrocardiographic (EGC) changes have been frequently observed in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The most frequent anomalies reported are prolonged of the QT interval, negative T waves, elevation or inversion of the ST segment and U wave. T wave inversion associated to QT interval prolongation is related to alterations in ventricular contraction indicating that echocardiographic screening is required. We report the case of a patient with SAH secondary to intracranial aneurism rupture who showed electrocardiographic changes, emphasizing the pathogenesis of the latter and the impact they have in both clinical manifestations and evolution.
