title: Torsades de Pointes due to ischemic stroke.
abstract: Cardiac and cerebrovascular illnesses are among the leading causes of mortality and morbidity today. Thromboembolic cases, which are the result of cardiac arrhythmia, are one of the important causes of cerebral stroke. However, various abnormalities, especially ST-T wave changes on electrocardiography can be seen in patients who do not have any heart disease history but had ischemic cerebral stroke. In this study, we have presented an interesting case of Torsades de Pointes due to ischemic cerebral stroke.
