摘要
Study objective: The aim of the study was to investigate a potential mechanism of myocardial injury after DC countershock. The effect of countershock-type electrical discharges on rabbit heart mitochondrial oxygen consumption was measured in vitro using a novel respiration cell. Measurements and main results: Mitochondria were isolated from the hearts of adult Dutch and New Zealand White rabbits. Single rectangular shocks (voltage gradients 20 to 80 V/cm; 5 ms duration) caused no significant changes in state 3 oxygen consumption in standard incubation medium. Single and multiple defibrilator shocks (critically damped sine waveform; 5 ms duration) with peak voltage gradients of 242 to 659 V/cm similarly had no significant effect on state 3 oxygen consumption. Conclusion: At voltage gradients similar to and greater than those causing myocardial cell injury and necrosis, electrical discharges do not directly depress mitochondrial function. Therefore, the reduction in mitochondrial oxygen consumption observed following transthoracic shocks in vivo may invoke other mechanisms (eg. intracellular calcium influx, high circulating noradrenaline, or free radical formation in the intact heart).
