A different kind of anesthesia a possible treatment for stress-induced cardiomyopathy

(University of Gothenburg) Stress induced cardiomyopathy after cerebral hemorrhage has been shown to increase the risk of further brain damage.

A new doctoral thesis at the University of Gothenburg has explored these issues.
