Abstract

The authors describe a case of ECG alterations, indicating myocardial ischaemia, in a patient affected by mild cranial trauma. Both cycloergometric test and angiography of coronary vessels were normal. The authors conclude that every patient affected by brain injury should be monitored by the Cardiological Department, because of the high frequency of myocardial damage and lethal arrhythmias in these patients.
