The goal of this observational design is to study the effects of intravenous corticosteroids on heart rate variability, arrhythmias and microalbuminuria. Some previous studies have shown that intravenous corticosteroids could induce bradycardia but also supra-ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. A second goal of this study is to investigate whether exogenous corticosteroids may induce microalbuminuria. A large retrospective study has revealed an association between microalbuminuria and corticosteroid use in the year preceding the measurement.
