Electrocardiographic changes, left ventricular wall motion abnormalities, myocardial ischemia, myocytolysis and arrhythmias have been well documented in patients with cerebral bleed. These complications may be related to stimulation of autonomic nervous system and central nervous system. We report a case of a 38-year-old back woman without previous heart disease, taken to emergency unit with headache and subarachnoid Haemorrhage. One day after, she complained of retroesternal pain. An electrocardiographic tracing showed significant and diffuse ST-T wave abnormalities. The patient remained stable with no neurologic or cardiac deficits. She was treated with bed rest, nimodipine, isossorbide propranolol and is symptomless six months of follow-up
