ECG Changes in Intracranial Hemorrhage

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

ECG Changes in Intracranial Hemorrhage ECG changes are fairly common in intracranial hemorrhage. Giant T inversions with QT interval prolongation may be seen in intracranial hemorrhage even without associated myocardial damage [1]. But the number of persons with lobar hemorrhage in that study was only 17%. Am Heart J.

Abstract WP105: External Validation of a Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke Diagnostic Algorithm That Uses Arm Weakness and a Headpulse Device

Stroke Journal

Introduction:The term headpulse refers to imperceptible head movements associated with each cardiac contraction, as measured by a cranial accelerometry device with electrocardiogram leads. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP105-AWP105, February 1, 2025. Examinations and diagnoses were obtained by chart and imaging review.

90 year old with acute chest and epigastric pain, and diffuse ST depression with reciprocal STE in aVR: activate the cath lab?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

New insights into the use of the 12-lead electrocardiogram for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction in the emergency department. All electrocardiograms (ECGs) and coronary angiograms were blindly analyzed by experienced cardiologists. Initial blood work showed the following: metabolic acidosis on VBG with a lactate of 7.1;

Abstract 4141052: Rare Combo: An Unusual Case of a 54-year-old Filipino with Coronary Artery Fistula from Left Anterior Descending Artery to Main Pulmonary Artery and Acute Cerebellar Infarct: A Cardio – Cerebral Infarction Syndrome - Case Report

Circulation

Laboratory tests showed markedly elevated troponin I levels (>50 ng/ml) and atrial fibrillation, along with inferior wall ST elevation on the electrocardiogram. Due to the high risk of hemorrhagic conversion, the loading of antiplatelets was deferred. ml subcutaneously once daily. An open-heart surgery was considered.

Also consider non-hemorrhagic volume depletion, dehydration : orthostatic vitals may uncover this [see Mendu et al. (3)]. Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG): Defined (San Fran syncope rule) as any new changes when compared to the last ECG or presence of non-sinus rhythm. Abnormal ECG – looks for cardiac syncope.
