High sternal acceleration may trigger VF despite minimal thoracic injury; leaves open human translation from this porcine model.
Does blunt thoracic impact induce myocardial conducting system dysfunctions in an anesthetized pig model?
Blunt thoracic trauma can induce severe myocardial conducting system dysfunctions, including ventricular fibrillation, which correlates with specific biomechanical impact parameters rather than typical thoracic injury indicators.
Viano et al. (1978) studied this question.
