The management of arrhythmias following an acute myocardial infarction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In critical illness, serum total cortisol (TC) may not adequately reflect adrenal function because of reduced cortisol-binding globulin (CBG). AIM:To evaluate adrenal function of critically ill children, using free cortisol index (FCI), calculated free cortisol (cFC), and TC levels. METHODS:Thirty-two crit...
