Cardiac injury may occur after acute pathology of central nervous system (CNS) without any evidence of primary cardiac diseases. The resulting structural and/or functional changes are called cerebrocardiac syndrome (CCS). The great majority of studies have been performed in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), while CCS data after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are rare. It may cause diagnostic and therapeutic pitfalls for the clinician due to a lack of specific clinical manifestations and diagnostic methods. Understanding the underlying pathophysiological and molecular mechanism(s) following cerebrovascular incidents will help to implement prevention and treatment strategies to improve the prognosis.
