Key result
Early surgery for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage resolved preoperative ECG abnormalities, with no significant differences in ECG parameters versus healthy subjects on postoperative days 2 and 8.
Why the study?
To investigate the effects of early surgery on electrocardiographic parameters in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage compared with normal individuals.
Does early surgery alleviate electrocardiographic changes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Comparison
Aneurysmal SAH patients pre- and post-surgery vs healthy control subjects
Follow-up
8th day after surgery

May support early surgery to normalize ECG changes in SAH; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Does early surgery alleviate electrocardiographic changes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Early surgery for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage appears to normalize preoperative electrocardiographic abnormalities by the 2nd postoperative day.
Coşgun et al. (2020) conducted a case-control in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (n=40). Early surgery vs. Healthy subjects was evaluated on ECG parameters including QT, QTc, JT, JTc, Pmax, and Pmin. Early surgery for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage resolved preoperative ECG abnormalities, with no significant differences in ECG parameters versus healthy subjects on postoperative days 2 and 8.
