Concussion Induced Electrocardiogram Changes

Abstract

A middle aged male presented to the Emergency room with pre-syncope following a hockey induced concussion. Abnormal electrocardiogram changes combined with a strong family history resulted in a cardiac catheterization which was normal. Nearly 2 years later, flattening of the T waves persisted with symptoms. Three years later, the patient developed ALS with predominant upper motor neuron findings.
