Cardiac Complication Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Abstract

Besides its severe neurological injuries, spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) commonly causes cardiac complications. These complications could include three different aspects of cardiac diseases, that is, electrocardiographic abnormalities, myocardial injuries, and left ventricular dysfunction. These complications not only may lead to misdiagnosis of SAH as myocardial infarction, but also it may complicate the management of SAH. In this review, we described all cardiac complications during SAH and explained the appropriate monitoring and management of these problems
