Abstract :

In acute stroke Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes are frequently seen, as found in myocardial ischemia/infraction and arrhythmia. The aim of this study was to observe ECG changes in patients with acute stroke. Methods: our study was a prospective observational study conducted in the Swaroop Rani hospital from March 2016 to July 2017. A total of 134 patient selected, 100 were in the study group as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. CT ain, MRI ain (in an inconclusive situation) done for diagnostic confirmation and there ECG changes were observed. Results: The mean age of the study group was 63.14 ±9.04 majority of stroke patient were in 51 – 70 years age group, 70 were males and 30 were females. Out of 100 patients, 63 were having ischemic stroke and 37 were having hemorrhagic stroke. ECG changes found in 90 patients. The most common ECG changes was ST depression T wave inversion 16 %, followed by QTC prolongation in 12 % Conclusion: ECG changes mimicking myocardial ischemia and arrhythmias are commonly seen in stroke patients, even without a history or sign of primary heart disease. During their treatment physicians should aware of these changes
