Abstract
Prolonged QT interval and increased QTC dispersion have been described immediately following rupture of intracranial aneurysm, due to increased sympathetic activity. Here, we report a patient with transient prolongation of the QT interval, probably due to heparin-induced hypocalcaemia, which occurred during coiling of a right internal carotid aneurysm, 54 days after ictus. Correction of the hypocalcaemia led to resolution of the electrocardiogram and blood pressure abnormalities.
