Dissociation of pituitary-adrenal and catecholamine activation after induced cardiac arrest and defibrillation.
To avoid factors which confound attempts to characterize the neuroendocrine response to cardiac arrest, we studied the pituitary-adrenocortical and catecholamine responses to induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) and direct current cardioversion in 10 patients undergoing testing of 'implanted c...
