Abstract :

 AIM: To determine the pattern of ECG changes associated with pathophysiologic categories of acute stroke among patients with/without cardiovascular disease and to determine whether there is any association between cardiac enzymes with pathophysiologic categories of acute stroke.

Materials and Methods: Retrospective observational study was done in 36 patients admitted between August 2016 and November 2016 with a diagnosis of acute cereovascular events including ischemic stroke, intracereal and subarachnoid haemorrhage in Yenepoya Medical College Hospital. CT–Imaging, ECG, 2 D ECHO and cardiac enzymes of each patient were studied.

Results: In the study population, 26(72.2%) were ischemic and 10(27.8%) were hemorrhagic stroke. Maximum number of patients had T inversion (55.56%) followed by ST elevation/depression (47.22%). CKMB was elevated in only 2 (5.6%) patients while Trop I was elevated in 11(30.6%) patients.

 

Conclusion: There is increased incidence of ECG changes and increase in

cardiac enzymes to the patients presenting with acute stroke but is unrelated to cardiac origin.
