Key result
Severe left ventricular dysfunction in acute subarachnoid hemorrhage required enoximone, which increased cardiac index to 3.9 L/min/m2, and necessitated delaying aneurysm surgery.

Severe left ventricular dysfunction can occur in acute subarachnoid hemorrhage, requiring intensive hemodynamic support and potentially necessitating the delay of aneurysm surgery.
Severe LV dysfunction may complicate acute SAH and delay surgery; case reports leave optimal hemodynamic strategies open.

Sakka et al. (1999) conducted a case report in Acute subarachnoid hemorrhage and severe left ventricular dysfunction (n=1). Enoximone and delayed surgical clipping was evaluated on Cardiac index and left ventricular ejection fraction. Severe left ventricular dysfunction in acute subarachnoid hemorrhage required enoximone, which increased cardiac index to 3.9 L/min/m2, and necessitated delaying aneurysm surgery.
