QTC Prolongation in Patients of Haemorrhagic Stroke

Abstract

Objective:To evaluatethe frequency of QTC Prolongation among the patients of haemorrhagic stroke Methodology: A total of 120 cases of hemorrhagic stroke between 20-70 years of age of either gender presenting first time were enrolled from Rehmat-u-lil Alameen Institute of Cardiology, Lahore during the year May,2021 to April 2022. QT interval is a good non-invasive diagnostic indicator of ventricular repolarization and myocardial homogeneity. Low Glasgow coma scale (GCS), brain stem involvement, and a prolonged QTc interval are all poor prognostic indicators of hemorrhagic stroke. Results:In our study, 20-50 years aged patients were recorded in 31.67%(n=38) and 68.33%(n=82) were between 51-70 years of age. Male gender were 61.67%(n=74) and 38.3%(n=46) were females.QTC prolongation was recorded in 34.17%(n=41) whereas 65.83%(n=79) had no QTC prolongation. Conclusion: It is concluded by the results that frequency of QTc prolongation was higher in hemorrhagic strokecases, however, it is required that every stroke patient should be evaluated for cardiac examination so that early detection may reduce cardiac morbidities Keywords: Hemorrhagic stroke, ECG, QTC Interval

The value of diagnostic procedures for essential hypertension control after an early recovery period of hemorrhagic stroke (literature review)

“…In review studies, the material was analyzed for the negative impact on the prognosis of CVD with increased QTc dispersion (Kaur & Dhoat, 2022). QTc interval studies are already available in patients with HS in the early periods (Hira et al, 2022;Guerra, Carrera & Schenone, 2021). However, there are still limited data on 24-h ABPM and ECG in patients after HS starting from the late rehabilitation period.…”
