title: Massive J-waves in the context of intracranial hemorrhage.
abstract: Transient ST-segment elevation may be caused by conditions other than myocardial ischemia, among them intracranial hemorrhage. Recognition of the underlying etiology of these ST-segment changes is key because of the vastly different therapies used to treat them. We describe the case of a patient with massive transient J-waves and ST-segment elevation in the context of an intracranial hemorrhage.
