Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cortisol is essential for survival. The importance of cortisol response is most apparent in patients with partial or complete deficiency of glucocorticoids during stressful events such as illness or surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It is known that cortisol and other stress hormones increase during acute myocardial infarction as well (9-11). Cardiac catheterization is an essential tool for the management of acute coronary syndrome, and for the evaluation of the burden of coronary artery disease in cardiac patients.
