abstract="Although ventricular fibrillation is a frequent cause of death in nearly drowned animals, the heart itself has never been studied in this condition. Working with a rabbit model, we have simulated the &quot;near drowning&quot; state and found that the heart undergoes some pathologic changes, including myocyte hypercontraction and hypereosinophilia. These changes may well account for the variety of arrhythmic disturbances that have been observed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
