Answer #ventricular_bigeminy Acute ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes are associated with many ECG abnormalities, including ventricular ectopy, tachy- or bradydysrhythmias, AV blocks, ST-segment elevation or depression, prolonged QT-interval, and large inverted T-waves. Various theories have been proposed for these abnormalities although no single cause has been found. CNS events that produce elevated intracranial pressure are especially likely to produce these abnormalities.
