QTc Interval Prolongation and Hemorrhagic Stroke: Any Difference Between Acute Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Acute Non-traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage?
A variety of ECG changes occur as an aftermath of stroke. Prolongation of the QTc interval is a well-documented change. We analyzed QTc interval prolongation among patients with acute hemorrhagic strokes. ⋯ Prolongation in the QTc interval was "statistically" associated with acute SAH only. No gender difference was noted; whether this observation is clinically significant or not, it needs further analytic studies.
