Prevalence of electrocardiographic ST-T changes during acute ischemic stroke in patients without known ischemic heart disease.
We evaluated characteristics and prevalence of ST-segment depression and/or T-wave inversion in the resting electrocardiogram of 244 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke, but without ischemic heart disease. The prevalence of ST-T changes ranged from 13% to 16% and this is what to expect in the background population.
