PATHOGENESIS OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC ABNORMALITIES 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...

Genetics of cerebrovascular accidents.

Genetics of Cerebrovascular Accidents • The influence of heredity factors in cerebrovascular accidents was investigated by studying the families of 80 patients with a clinical diagnosis of CVA. The frequency of CVA in parents and siblings of these patients was compared with the frequency in the family of the patient's spouse. The frequency of recognized predisposing illnesses to CVA including h...
