The Role of Norepinephrine and Estradiol in the Pathogenesis of Cardiac Wall Motion Abnormality Associated With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Abstract

To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the interrelation among catecholamine, estrogen, and SAH-induced WMA. Lack of estradiol in postmenopausal women may predispose them to develop WMA after poor-grade SAH. However, the precise role of multiple sex hormones in SAH-induced WMA should be evaluated in future prospective studies.
