There has been diverse and plentiful literature emphasizing the cardiac changes in acute cerebrovascular events and traumatic brain injury. In stark contrast, there is scarce literature on the incidence of cardiac dysfunction caused by raised intracranial pressure (ICP) resulting from brain tumors. The study aimed to observe the ECG changes concurrent with intracranial hypertension resulting from supratentorial brain tumors.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This is a pre-specified subgroup analysis of a prospective and observational study on cardiac function in patients presenting for neurosurgery. Data of 100 consecutive patients of either sex between 18 and 60 years who presented with primary supratentorial brain tumors were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 consisted of patients without clinical and radiological features of raised ICP and Group 2 consisted of patients with clinical and radiological features of raised ICP. A 12-lead ECG was obtained for every patient on the day before the neurosurgical procedure as part of the pre-anesthetic assessment. The cardiologist and the neuroanesthetist independently examined the ECG, and it was then classified and coded as per the standardized Minnesota code. Statistical analysis was performed with IBM SPSS (release 22.0; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). The normality of the distribution of continuous variables was tested using the Shapiro\u2013Wilk test. Normally distributed variables were expressed as Mean \u00b1 SD. All nominal or categorical variables are described as frequencies and percentages. Categorical variables were compared using the Chi-square test or the Fisher\u2019s exact test. The normally distributed continuous variables were compared using Student\u2019s <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test. \u201c<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05\u201d was considered statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>About 6% in Group 1 and 32% in Group 2 had abnormal ECG. This was significantly different in Group 2 compared to Group 1 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). No patients in Group 1 had sinus bradycardia, whereas it was observed in 12% of the patients in Group 2 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.02). ST-segment depression was found in 12% of patients in Group 2, whereas none had it in Group 1 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.02). ST-segment elevation was noticed in 16 % in Group 2 and 2% in Group 1 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.01). T-wave abnormalities were found in 16% compared to 4% in Group 1 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.03).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st4\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In patients with supratentorial tumors, we observed that those with raised ICP had a higher incidence of ECG changes than those with normal ICP. In addition, repolarization abnormalities and arrhythmias were significantly higher in patients with raised ICP.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/jnrp-2022-2-23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,8]],"date-time":"2022-11-08T08:37:57Z","timestamp":1667896677000},"page":"55-61","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Electrocardiographic
