Preoperative ECG abnormalities may aid risk stratification in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Do specific preoperative electrocardiographic abnormalities independently associate with adverse neurological outcomes and mortality in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Preoperative bradycardia, relative tachycardia, and nonspecific ST- and T-wave abnormalities are independent predictors of 3-month mortality in patients undergoing surgery for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Coghlan et al. (2008) studied this question.
