Open Access Abstract Introduction It is known that thyroid homeostasis is altered during the acute phase of cardiac arrest. However it is not clear under what conditions how and for how long these alterations occur. In the present study we examined thyroid function tests TFTs in the acute phase of cardiac arrest caused by acute coronary syndrome ACS and at the end of the first 2 months after the event. Method Fifty patients with cardiac arrest induced by ACS and 31 patients with acute myocardial infarction AMI who did not require cardioversion or cardiopulmonary resuscitation were enrolled in the study as were 40 healthy volunteers. The patients were divided into three groups based on duration of cardiac arrest 5 min 5-10 min and 10 min . .
