Abstract
Many electrocardiogram changes associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage have been described. A 55-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency service due to complaints of dizziness and fainting after headache persisting for several days. Left bundle branch block was detected on electrocardiogram, and a subarachnoid hemorrhage was detected on brain tomography. Our case illustrates that left bundle branch block may occur in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, having no symptoms of a heart problem, previously.
