Key result
Acute stroke was associated with ECG abnormalities including prolonged QTc, ST-T changes, prominent U waves, and arrhythmias, with Trop-I positivity in 12.8% of patients with ECG changes.
Observational (n=100)
Acute stroke is frequently associated with ECG abnormalities such as prolonged QTc, ST-T changes, and arrhythmias, which can occur without prior heart disease due to central nervous system involvement.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ECG monitoring may be considered in acute stroke; cross-sectional data leaves open whether troponin positivity warrants routine testing or alters management.
K.C et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Acute stroke (n=100). Acute stroke was evaluated on Proportion of ECG changes. Acute stroke was associated with ECG abnormalities including prolonged QTc, ST-T changes, prominent U waves, and arrhythmias, with Trop-I positivity in 12.8% of patients with ECG changes.
