RESUMO
This is a prospective study of cardiac arrhythmias in patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) secondary to ruptured aneurysm. Twenty per cent of the patients had serious, life-threatening arrhythmias. However, 100% of the patients had some kind of cardiac arrhythmia. The arrhythmias occurred during the first 48 hours after SAH. Such arrhythmias occur in patients without overt, pre-existing heart disease, hypoxemia, or electrolyte imbalance. A prolonged Q-T interval is frequently observed in patients with SAH who develop serious ventricular arrhythmias. (Neurosurgery, 5: 675--680, 1979).

Case report of acute autonomic neuropathy. It is the twelfth case reported in literature and the second case associated to positive serological tests for infectious mononucleosis. We are reporting for the first time plasma renin activity, decrease response to repetitive pacing of the S-A node, insulin curve with radio-immunoassay and cardiac catheterization findings.
