title: [ECG and cardiac changes in acute brain injury].
abstract: Two case reports and a review of the literature on ECG changes and myocardial damage (subendocardial hemorrhages and focal myocytolysis) in patients with acute brain lesions are presented. The implications and problems associated with these changes are discussed, particularly in relation to the evaluation of potential cardiac transplant donors.
