Why the study?
Do early ECG changes predict angiographic vasospasm in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage?

Comparison
Presence of electrocardiographic changes within… vs Absence of these ECG changes
Design
Cohort

Baseline ECG changes should not yet alter vasospasm monitoring in aneurysmal SAH; leaves open prospective validation for risk stratification.
Do early ECG changes predict angiographic vasospasm in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Baseline ECG changes, specifically QT prolongation and tachycardia, can serve as early predictors for the development of angiographic vasospasm following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
