Popis: Cardiac dysfunction occurring within subarachnoid hemorrhage named neurogenic stunned myocardium have great impact on intensive care of patients with SAH. Timely diagnosis and treatment of such condition can provide better haemodynamics of damaged brain. The standard follow-up was performed in 30 patients with SAH during two years at the Clinic of Neurosurgery (2005,2006). Serial electrocardiography, echocardiography, as well as laboratory findings of special biomarkers of left ventricular wall motion abnormalities were performed. All patients were treated with Urapidil, Metoprolol, MgSO4 by cheme and ACE inhibitors. Ninety EKG were analyzed in the study, as well as 16 electrocardiographies. The highest levels of CPK, CK-MB and TnI before and after the therapy were also recoded. EKG showed the signs of ischemia in 9 of 30 patients on 1st day and 7 of 30 patients on 3rd day of the therapy. The highest level of CK-MB was present during the 1st day with mean value of 67,80±1,83 IU/L that decreased on 3rd day of therapy with mean value of 66,8±1,83 IU/L, TnI was positive in 16 cases. It showed statistically significant decrease from 0,29 ng/ml till 0,187 ng/ml and p < 0,01. Myocardial ischaemia has been proven to be a very significant complication in SAH. Appropriate treatment of myocardial ischaemia seems to improve systemic haemodynamics, as well as haemodynamics of the damaged brain.
