TRANSIENT ST ELEVATION AND LEFT-VENTRICULAR ASYNERGY ASSOCIATED WITH NORMAL CORONARY-ARTERY AND TC-99M PYP MYOCARDIAL INFARCT SCAN IN SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE

A 72-year-old woman who presented with transient electrocardiographic ST segment elevation and left ventricular asynergy in an acute phase o f subarachnoid hemorrhage was found to have normal coronary angiogram and normal Tc-99m PYP myocardial infarct scan. These findings suggeste d that noninvasive Tc-99m PYP myocardial infarct scan could substitute coronary angiogram for differentiating wall motion and electrocardiog raphic abnormalities secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage from those c aused by coronary artery disease in patients with subarachnoid hemorrh age.
