Electrocardiographic Abnormalities in Cerebrovascular Accidents

Abstract
The electrocardiographic abnormalities found in 100 patients with acute cerebrovascular disease and previously normal hearts are described. The ab normalities were more often seen in patients with intracerebral and subarach noid hemorrhages. The most common changes were Q-Tc Prolongation and ST segment and T wave abnormalities. The mechanisms of these electrocardio graphic abnormalities appear to be multiple.
