However, the mechanisms and the risk factors for the hypothalamo-pituitary dysfunction due to TBI, SAH, stroke and CVD are still unclear (1,2,3). Hypoxia, hypoxemia, neuroinflammation, autoimmunity could have impact in the pathogenesis (4). In patients with serious ventricular arrhythmias who need resuscitation,...
