Extends validation of virtual electrode theory; hypothesis-generating for defibrillation optimization, without immediate clinical translation.
This editorial highlights the importance of high-resolution optical mapping in validating virtual electrode theory for understanding the intramural effects of defibrillating shocks.
A.V. Holden (2004) conducted an editorial in Ventricular fibrillation. Defibrillation was evaluated. High-resolution optical mapping of transmural polarization during defibrillation revealed both positive and negative virtual electrode polarizations, validating the virtual electrode theory.
