May indicate myocardial injury from repeated shocks in animals; leaves open human relevance and mechanisms.
Do multiple transthoracic countershocks cause myocardial injury, mitochondrial dysfunction, and free-radical generation in adult greyhounds?
Multiple transthoracic countershocks lead to early metabolic changes, mitochondrial dysfunction, and free-radical generation, contributing to cellular injury.
Trouton et al. (1989) studied this question.
