Stroke-induced ECG and wall motion changes warrant caution against misdiagnosing ACS; leaves open prevalence and mechanisms in prospective cohorts.
Case Report (n=1)
Acute cerebrovascular events can present with transient cardiac dysfunction and cerebral T-waves mimicking acute coronary syndrome, highlighting the need for careful differential diagnosis to avoid harmful treatments.
Hamilton et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Acute cerebrovascular accident with transient cardiac dysfunction (n=1). Acute cerebrovascular accident was evaluated on Transient cardiac dysfunction (cerebral T-waves and left ventricular dysfunction). An acute ischemic stroke can present with transient cardiac dysfunction, including cerebral T-waves and left ventricular wall motion abnormalities, mimicking acute coronary syndrome.
