Abstract

Introduction: Twenty percent of all strokes are hemorrhagic and 50% of hemorrhagic strokes are because of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Cardiac abnormalities and electrocardiographic (ECG) changes are commonly seen after SAH. Here, we present a patient with a sudden loss of consciousness, respiratory arrest, and diffuse ST segment changes in ECG.
