[Electrocardiographic changes in patients with hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes]

The authors conducted a repeated ECG study of 200 patients with atherosclerosis and hypertensive disease in the acute phase of a cerebral stroke (57 patients with intracerebral hemorrhages and 143 with ischemic strokes). It was noted that the frequency and degree of expressed ECG disorders depended upon the character, extensiveness and localization of the focus in cerebral strokes.
