[Heart rhythm disorders in acute cerebral circulatory disorders].
The authors studied 101 patients with a combination of acute disorders of brain circulation and changes in the rhythm of heart activity in the form of sinus tachycardia, extra-systolia, fluttering arythmia. In ischemic strokes fluttering arythmia was encountered quite frequently while as in hemmorhages it was almost never seen. In 20 cases disorders of heart rhythm appeared following several days or more after the stroke. These data permit to assume that disorders of rhythm in the heart activity may be one of the pathogenetical factors of acute disorders of brain circulation. Their appearance after strokes is most frequently associated with signs of acute or exacerbated coronary insufficiency. Flutter arythmia in patients with strokes should be taken into consideration indifferential diagnosis of brain haemmorhages and infarctions.
