Abstract
Myocardial stunning has not been described in patients with cerebrovascular accidents. We present a patient in whom inferior wall hypokinesis, ST-segment elevations and Q waves developed after acute right hemisphere ischemic stroke. Total recovery ensued within 5 days. Coronary vasospasm induced by stroke-related sympathetic surge might be the cause of this cardiac event.Entities:
