Article Electrocardiographic abnormalities in acute cerebrovascular ...
From the above article I have come to know that during Brain Stroke there are ECG changes in T-wave and QTc interval. Ischemia like ECG changes are seen in Stroke patients, though they don't have any previous heart diseases. I suppose that is just a case but not as supporting for a decision.Can there be some other way which can be suggested ?
The electrocardiogramm (ECG) is helpful in the diagnosis of cardiac diseases. The described ECG changes in neurological diseases are nonspecific. They do not replace a crucial clinical diagnosis.
ECG will not help in the diagnosis of stroke or brain attack. Diagnosis of stroke is based on history, clinical examination and imaging. However a variety of ECG changes can occur in stroke, mostly involving the ST segment and T waves Arrhythmias, both tachy as well as brady can also occur infrequently.
ECG changes may probably be a cause or consequence of the stroke.
Arrhythmia of a type, like atrial fibrillation or rate disorders or others may be such features seen with stroke. The site of the stroke may influence the ECG picture one may be seeing.
