Key result
An increased quantity of intracranial blood on CT scan was associated with a statistically greater incidence of ECG abnormalities, which occurred in 30 of 70 patients (43%).

Is there an association between the amount of intracranial blood on CT scan and the incidence of ECG abnormalities in patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage?
An increased quantity of intracranial blood following acute subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated with a higher incidence of ECG abnormalities, though neither predicts patient outcome.
Manninen et al. (1995) conducted an observational in Acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (n=70). Increased amount of intracranial blood on CT scan vs. Lesser amount of intracranial blood was evaluated on Incidence of ECG abnormalities. An increased quantity of intracranial blood on CT scan was associated with a statistically greater incidence of ECG abnormalities, which occurred in 30 of 70 patients (43%).
