Key result
An electrocardiographic score of 4 or more points strongly predicted left ventricular wall motion abnormality after subarachnoid hemorrhage (AUC 0.94, P<.0001).
Why the study?
Does a novel ECG score predict left ventricular wall motion abnormality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Population
161 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
within 24 hours of SAH onset

ECG scoring may aid early WMA risk stratification in SAH; leaves open whether it improves outcomes or warrants routine use.

Does a novel ECG score predict left ventricular wall motion abnormality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Effect estimate: AUC 0.94
p-value: p=<.0001
A simple ECG scoring system based on ST-T wave changes can accurately predict the presence of left ventricular wall motion abnormalities in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Sugimoto et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Subarachnoid hemorrhage (n=161). Electrocardiographic scoring was evaluated on Left ventricular wall motion abnormality (AUC 0.94, p=<.0001). An electrocardiographic score of 4 or more points strongly predicted left ventricular wall motion abnormality after subarachnoid hemorrhage (AUC 0.94, P<.0001).
