Conclusion:
We found that WMA may be present on admission or develop during the course of aSAH. Poor neurological condition on admission, sinus tachycardia, ST-depression and ST-elevation at the admission ECG and elevated troponin T, are independent predictors for early WMA, a myocardial infarct pattern on the admission ECG and elevated troponin T independently predict late WMA. This allows the treating physicians to identify patients at higher risk, possibly influencing clinical management. More research should be directed towards treatment option of WMA after aSAH.
