[Study of electrocardiographic alterations during the acute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage and their prognostic implications].

The electrocardiographic abnormalities occurring with acute central nervous system disease were known phenomenon. In this study, we have done a descriptive study of 100 patients with intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) compared with a control group and the changes associated a worse prognostic. We have observed that the incidence of abnormalities electrocardiographic were most frequent in the patients with ICH (p < 0.05). The incidence of abnormalities in the pattern electrocardiographic was the 70% and the incidence of arrhythmias was the 56%. We have also observed that the presence of Q wave, QTc > or = 0.44 sec and the atrial fibrillations means a worse prognostic. We conclude that the incidence of abnormalities electrocardiographic in the ICH is elevate an the presence of Q wave, QTc > or = 0.44 an the atrial fibrillations means a worse prognostic.
