Abstract
Electrocardiographic abnormalities are frequently seen in patients who have experienced a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). These changes often mimic those seen in acute myocardial infarction although often patients have no history or other symptoms of cardiac disease. This paper reviews the types of rhythm disturbances seen following SAH and discusses the pathophysiologic basis for these changes. It also presents possible nursing interventions for these patients and explores areas needing further research.
