225 Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) with ST-Segment Elevation

Subarachnoid hemorrhage mimicking ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after return of spontaneous circulation

Electrocardiogram changes in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have been described as ST-T changes that mimic acute coronary syndrome and even acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Elevation of cardiac enzymes and abnormality of regional myocardial wall motion have been reported frequently for SAH. We report a case of an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivor with high suspicion of ST-...

Ventricular fibrillation/Brugada-like ST segment elevation: First presentation of subarachnoid hemorrhage

Brugada syndrome is an autosomal dominantly inherited channelopathy estimated to be responsible for 4e12% of all sudden deaths, particularly among middle-aged men. It is characterized by ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads, in the absence of acute coronary syndrome. This report discuses a patient with subarachonoid hemorrhage who developed the characteristic electrocardiographic ...

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Misdiagnosed as an Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Without significant coronary artery stenosis, ischemic electrocardiographic change including ST segment elevation, segmental wall motion abnormality and elevated serum cardiac-specific markers (creatine kinase-MB, Troponin-T) may develop after central nervous system injuries such as subarachnoid, intracranial or subdural hemorrhage. Misdiagnosing these patients as acute myocardial infarction ma...

Myocardial Hemorrhage After Acute Reperfused ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Asymptomatic ST segment elevation.

Asymptomatic ST segment elevation in a life insurance applicant's ECG raises several prognostically important possibilities such as myocardial infarction, pericarditis, Brugada syndrome and early repolarization. This ECG case study discusses the ECG features involved in the differential diagnosis.
