Myocardial stunning has been poorly described in patients with cerebrovascular accidents. We present a patient in whom severe anteroapical wall motion abnormalities and extensive anterior ST-segment elevation developed after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Total recovery ensued within 2 days. Coronary vasospasm induced by stroke-related sympathetic surge might be the determinant factor of this cardiac event.
