Abstract

Electrocardiographic changes due to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are seen frequently and this can lead to erroneous examinations and treatment, like thrombolytic or antiaggregant, which can increase the mortality. A 42-year-old female was admitted to our emergency. While planning with primary percutan transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) the ECG changed to narrow QRS complex supraventricular tachycardia. Due to the normal echocardiography of the heart, lack of coronary artery disease medical history, physical examination was made again and we decided to take a non-contrast cranial computer tomography(CT) to exclude intracranial hemorrhage which could explain the electrocardiographic changes and clinical situation of the patient We presented a case with SAH whose electrocardiograph mimicked myocardial infarction.
