Post-resuscitation therapeutic hypothermia has been recommended because of its neuroprotective effects. However, a few studies have reported the effects of therapeutic hypothermia on the heart, especially in ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest. The aim of this study was to determine whether therapeutic hypothermia attenuates post-resuscitation myocardial injury in a swine cardiac arrest model. ⋯ Therapeutic hypothermia attenuated histological myocardial injury in ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest model of pigs while preserving more ATP and decreased apoptosis.
