Activation patterns of Purkinje fibers during long-duration ventricular fibrillation in an isolated canine heart model.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The mechanism through which ischemic preconditioning causes cardioprotection is unknown. The present study investigated the role of stunning in preconditioning. METHODS AND RESULTS:We studied three different protocols of preconditioning: two cycles of 2-minute ischemia separated by 5-minute reperfusion (2'P...
