A New Electrocardiographic Pattern Observed in Cerebrovascular Accidents

A new electrocardiographic pattern observed in cerebrovascular accidents.

Electrocardiographic abnormalities in cerebrovascular accidents.

In order to assess the relationship of electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in acute cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) to the locations of the cerebral lesions, ECG records and brain computerized tomographic (CT) scans which were taken within 48 hours of CVA onset were examined in 39 patients without heart disease and/or treatment with cardiovascular drugs. The ECG was normal in 25% (3/12) of basal...

Electrocardiographic Patterns in Patients with Cerebrovascular Accidents

Electrocardiographic changes and myocardial damage in patients with acute cerebrovascular accidents.

In 100 consecutive patients with acute cerebrovascular accident, due to cerebral thrombosis in 72, cerebral hemorrhage in 12, embolus in 6, and subarachnoid hemorrhage in 10, there were 90 who had electrocardiographic abnormalities during the first three days after admission, compared to 50% in a control group. The patients with cerebrovascular accident had a 7- to 10-fold higher incidence of S...
