Overview
Following intracerebral hemorrhage and secondary to catecholamines release following posterior hypothalamus hypoperfusion, the EKG changes may show changes which is a reflection of left ventricular ischemia. Additionally, brainstem compression may result in ventricular arrhythmias.[1][2]
Electrocardiogram
Secondary to catecholamines release following posterior hypothalamus hypoperfusion, the EKG changes may show changes which is a reflection of left ventricular ischemia:[1][2]
- Prolonged QT interval
- ST segment depression
- Flat T waves or inverted T waves
- U waves
- Tall T waves
Additionally, brainstem compression may result in:
