title: ECG change of acute subarachnoid hemorrhagic patients.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study intends to investigate whether the entry electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities of patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are related to the prognosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  From 1998 to the present, 106 SAH patients who had no history of heart disease and were diagnosed with head CT were recruited.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Abnormal ECG changes of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage patients were observed, with a total incidence rate of 63.2% (67/106). The incidence rate of allorhythmia was 22.6% (24/106), the repolarization abnormality was 14.2% (15/106), the conduction abnormality was 1.9% (2/106), and the combined abnormality was 21.7% (23/106). However, dividing the patients into two groups according to their entry consciousness state, no difference was observed between coma and alert groups (P=1.0000). In addition, the ECG changes had no relationship with the lesion degree and the outcome prognosis according to logistic regression analysis (P=0.0844).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In 106 SAH patients, we could not identify any relationship between the ECG and lesion degree and outcome prognosis.
