Exercise stress testing is generally safe, but rare noncardiac complications can occur. This case highlights a subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm following stress testing in a patient with polycystic kidney disease.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Neurology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Exercise stress testing is a standard diagnostic tool for cardiopulmonary conditions.
  • Noncardiac complications during stress testing are infrequent.
  • Autosomal polycystic kidney disease (APKD) is associated with vascular risks.

Observation:

  • A patient with APKD and renal failure underwent exercise stress testing.
  • The patient developed a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) post-procedure.
  • The SAH was attributed to a ruptured berry aneurysm.

Findings:

  • This case represents a rare instance of SAH following exercise stress testing.
  • The underlying APKD and potential aneurysm fragility may have contributed.
  • The event underscores the importance of considering patient-specific risks.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should be aware of potential, albeit rare, neurological complications.
  • Risk stratification for stress testing may need to consider comorbid conditions like APKD.
  • Further research into the specific risks of stress testing in patients with vascular anomalies is warranted.
