Key result
Management of common arrhythmias, such as premature beats, atrial fibrillation, and QT prolongation, in the neurological intensive care unit focuses on accurate diagnosis and acute treatment.
This review provides a practical overview of diagnosing and managing common arrhythmias like premature beats, atrial fibrillation, and QT prolongation in neurological ICU patients.
May guide arrhythmia management in neurological ICU; leaves open need for prospective trials to refine protocols.
Cardiac arrhythmias are a common problem in the neurological intensive care unit and represent a major cause of ischemic stroke. Significant arrhythmias are most likely to occur in elderly patients. In this review, we focus on three arrhythmias: premature beats, atrial fibrillation, and QT prolongation. The goal of this review is to provide a current concept of diagnosis and acute management of arrhythmias in the neurological intensive care unit.

Sung‐Hwan Kim (2018) conducted a review in Arrhythmia in neurological intensive care unit. Arrhythmia management was evaluated. Management of common arrhythmias, such as premature beats, atrial fibrillation, and QT prolongation, in the neurological intensive care unit focuses on accurate diagnosis and acute treatment.
