AbstractNeurogenic stunned myocardium is a significant complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Diagnosis of neurogenic stunned myocardium is complicated by variable presentation. We present a case of a 23-year-old woman admitted with a subarachnoid hemorrhage from an arteriovenous malformation and associated aneurysm. Postoperatively, she developed pulmonary edema and mildly elevated cardiac biomarkers. Echocardiography showed hypokinesis of the basal left ventricular segments and normal contraction of the apical left ventricular segments consistent with a variant form of neurogenic stunned myocardium. We describe characteristics and outcomes of neurogenic stunned myocardium in this young patient with arteriovenous malformation-associated aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
