CARRILLO ESPER, Raúl et al. Electrocardiographic alterations in subarachnoid hemorrhage. Rev. Fac. Med. (Méx.) [online]. 2011, vol.54, n.1, pp.41-45. ISSN 2448-4865.

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.

Palabras llave : electrocardiographic changes; subarachnoid hemorrhage.
