Free radicals like hydrogen peroxide have direct, primary effects on cardiac excitation-contraction coupling that are independent of their depressant effects on cellular metabolism.

Oxidative stress may impair cardiac EC coupling independently of metabolism; extends mechanistic insights but leaves open human translation.
Goldhaber et al. (1994) studied this question.
