Reoxygenation-induced tension prolongation may promote ventricular irritability; hypothesis-generating for reperfusion arrhythmia mechanisms.
Does reoxygenation after myocardial hypoxia alter tension duration and mechanical behavior in ventricular muscle?
The study identifies localized mechanical abnormalities, specifically prolonged tension development, during recovery from myocardial ischemia that may contribute to acute coronary syndromes.
Bing et al. (1971) studied this question.
