What exactly is an intracranial haemorrhage?
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, a neurologist, describes intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) as a “acute event that occurs all of a sudden. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the common underlying cause of ICH, accounting for approximately 30-35 percent of all cases of brain stroke.”
According to Dr. Girish B. Navasundi, director of interventional cardiology at Apollo Hospitals in Bengaluru, intracranial hemorrhage. If associated with increase pressure on the brain and irritability,” can cause sudden cardiac death due to variations in cardiac electrical function. “It is caused primarily by changes in ventricular repolarisation.” This means that the heart’s autonomic control is abnormal. Which leads to varying degrees of arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythm),” explained Dr Navasundi.
Headache, vomiting, weakness, numbness or tingling of one arm or leg on one side. Walking imbalance, also difficulty speaking or swallowing are all common symptoms. “In severe cases of ICH, a patient may become unconscious also require breathing support from a mechanical ventilator. Some cases of ICH can also result in cardiac arrests,” Dr Kumar added.
