The present study was undertaken to compare an animal model of electrically induced VF with ischemically induced VF. In a preponderance of models of cardiac arrest and resuscitation in intact animals, ventricular fibrillation (VF) is induced by an alternating current delivered directly to the epicardium or endocardium. Yet, the applicability of such animal models has been challenged for it is not an electrical current alone but rather a current generated in the ischemic myocardium that triggers VF. Accordingly, a potentially more clinically relevant model was investigated in which spontaneous VF followed acute myocardial ischemia.
