Cardiac Arrhythmia Associated with Reversible Damage to Insula in a Patient with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Stroke 25:1053-1055, Svigelj,V.,et al, 1994 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract A 37-year-old woman with subarachnoid hemorrhage suffered a severe reversible cardiac arrhythmia after neurosurgical clipping of an arterial aneurysm and removal of an intracerebral hematoma from the region of the left insula.The observed association of a neurosurgical intervention in the region of the left insular cortex with a cardiac arrhythmia supports but does not prove the suggested role of the insula in the causation of heart rhythm disturbances after stroke.
