Inverted T waves are sometimes found in patients with neurologic problems. You can also see ST depression, QT prolongation, and prominent U waves.

One confounding issue is that people who have strokes also tend to have heart problems, so there may also be cardiac abnormalities that are not caused by the stroke. In fact, sometimes the stroke is caused by cardiac abnormalities (like atrial fibrillation). Here is an article with a little more information:

do you mean EEG? Electroencephalagram? It measures brain waves in different parts of the brain,under different circumstances. Sometimes docs will use it to declare brain death. In a stroke, if part of the brain is damaged there will be changes in the test

There are no characteristic EKG changes in CVAs (Strokes).
There may be some arrhythmias, but none that "commonly" occur.
