Why the study?
Are cardiac abnormalities (such as wall motion abnormalities) associated with delayed cerebral ischemia and poor clinical outcome in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Population
301 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), mean age 57 years, 70% women.
Comparison
Presence of echocardiographic wall motion… vs Absence of echocardiographic wall motion…
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
3 months

May aid prognostication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage; extends observational links but leaves open therapeutic implications.
Are cardiac abnormalities (such as wall motion abnormalities) associated with delayed cerebral ischemia and poor clinical outcome in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Echocardiographic wall motion abnormalities are independent predictors of death and poor clinical outcome at 3 months in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Bilt et al. (2013) studied this question.
