Abstract
The Brain and heart have many connections both in disease and physiology. Many literatures refer to Cardiac implications due to a underlying neurological event. In this case report we present a cardiac complication due to acute stroke, which is rather a common event but also a frequently overviewed entity. Here we present a patient developing ECG changes due to ischemic stroke. The ECG changes regressed along with neurological stabilization a few days later.
Keywords: Neurogenic T waves, insular cortex, ischemic stroke
