Subarachnoid hemorrhage after exercise stress testing.
Exercise stress testing is generally a safe, common procedure used to evaluate patients with suspected or known cardiopulmonary disease. Noncardiac complications are rare. A single case of hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage as a result of exercise stress testing is reported in the literature. This report presents a case of subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured berry aneurysm after stress testing in a patient with autosomal polycystic kidney disease and renal failure.
