Noradrenaline does not explain post-aSAH ECG abnormalities; leaves open alternative mechanisms and prognostic value.
Do high plasma noradrenaline concentrations explain the occurrence of electrocardiographic abnormalities after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage?
High plasma noradrenaline concentrations do not explain the occurrence of electrocardiographic abnormalities after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and are not useful independent predictors of poor outcome.
Brouwers et al. (1995) studied this question.
