Epistaxis is a potentially life-threatening condition that can compromise a patient's airway, breathing and circulation. Early recognition of underlying bleeding diatheses that are amenable to medical therapy is imperative in order for timely treatment and to reduce morbidity. We present a case in which acquired haemophilia was diagnosed in an 83-year-old man presenting with seemingly uncomplicated epistaxis.

- Acute cerebrovascular events like ischaemic stroke and subarachnoid haemorrhage can lead to left ventricular dysfunction and ECG abnormalities that may resemble signs of cardiac ischaemia.
- A case study is presented involving a 62-year-old woman who showed ECG repolarisation abnormalities while being treated for pneumonia, leading to the diagnosis of an intracerebral haemorrhage despite no signs of cardiac dysfunction.
- The authors highlight that when symptoms do not fit typical acute coronary syndrome, ambiguous ECG changes might indicate a primary cerebrovascular issue, even when neurological and cardiac symptoms are absent.
