RESUMO
We describe a 13-year-old patient with asthma in whom severe bronchospasm developed immediately after the intravenous administration of 12 mg of adenosine. The risk of bronchospasm in patients with reactive airway disease may favor the use of alternative methods for the termination of supraventricular tachycardia.

RESUMO
We describe an infant who had a dilated cardiomyopathy and who was later found to have congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The cardiomyopathy resolved after replacement of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid. We believe that glucocorticoid deficiency may have played a direct role in the evolution of this cardiomyopathy.
