Key result
Subarachnoid hemorrhage can mimic acute MI with arrest and transient multivessel coronary occlusion.
Why the study?
Coronary vasospasm and reversible postischemic stunned myocardium have not been previously considered in relation to subarachnoid hemorrhage.

May warrant considering subarachnoid hemorrhage in select out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases mimicking infarction; leaves open prevalence and management of neurogenic stunned myocardium.
Case Report (n=1)
Yuki et al. (1991) conducted a case report in Subarachnoid hemorrhage presenting as out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (n=1). Subarachnoid hemorrhage was evaluated. Subarachnoid hemorrhage can present as out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with transient multivessel coronary occlusion and electrocardiographic findings mimicking acute myocardial infarction.
