Summary
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
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.
