چکیده
CONTEXT Electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities are common following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It probably represents cardiovascular stress after SAH. AIMS The purpose of this study was to assess cortisol dynamics in relation to the ECG abnormality and disease course of SAH. SETTINGS AND DESIGN The study follows a consecutive cohort of aneurysmal SAH patients, who underwent surgery within 72 hours of onset, and they were followed up for 10 days. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum cortisols, cortisol-binding globulin (CGB), adenocorticotropic hormone were measured (between 08.00-09.00 hours) preoperatively and then on postoperative days (PODs) 2, 4, 7, and 10. Electrocardiographs (ECG) were recorded on initial assessment and after surgery on daily basis in ICU. ECG abnormalities will be followed up by measurement of cardiac troponin T to quantify the myocyte necrosis. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED Logistic regression analysis using commercial available software STATA 9. RESULTS A total of 44 patients (20 M and 24 F) were eligible for the cohort analysis. Average patient age is 52.02 years (52.02 ± 11.23), and 86% (6/44) arrived with World Federation of Neurosurgical Society Scale grade 3 or better. The ECG abnormality was found in 10 cases (22.7%), but the abnormal TnT (>1 μg/l) were found in eight cases, and two cases contribute to the mortality. The ECG abnormalities are significantly associated with total cortisol on day 4 (P < 0.05) and free cortisol on day 2 (P = 0.0065). CONCLUSIONS Elevated levels of morning cortisol within the first four days after surgery are associated with the ECG abnormality.

We prospectively studied serial electrocardiograms in 61 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Electrocardiographic changes were related to the initial level of consciousness, to subsequent events, and to outcome after 3 months. All 61 patients had at least one abnormal electrocardiogram, but cardiac disease did not contribute directly to morbidity or mortality. Fast rhythm disturba...
متن کاملCardiac Complication Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Besides its severe neurological injuries, spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) commonly causes cardiac complications. These complications could include three different aspects of cardiac diseases, that is, electrocardiographic abnormalities, myocardial injuries, and left ventricular dysfunction. These complications not only may lead to misdiagnosis of SAH as myocardial infarction, but also...

Electrocardiographic Abnormalities and Serum Magnesium in Patients With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Background and Purpose—ECG abnormalities and hypomagnesemia frequently occur after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Because hypomagnesemia is associated with several ECG abnormalities, we studied whether hypomagnesemia mediates ECG abnormalities after SAH. Methods—We prospectively studied a consecutive series of 62 patients admitted within 72 hours after aneurysmal SAH. A standard 12-l...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Electrocardiographic abnormalities are common after subarachnoid hemorrhage, but their significance remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to determine whether any specific electrocardiographic abnormalities are independently associated with adverse neurological outcomes. METHODS This was a substudy of the Intraoperative Hypothermia Aneurysm Surgery Trial, which w...
