Recurrences of ventricular fibrillation (VF) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are associated with a reduced chance of survival. The effect of VF during CPR on the myocardium is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that VF during simulated CPR reduces the restoration of the myocardial energy state and contractile function.
