Possible Underlying Mechanism for Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Electromechanical Suppression in Human Atrial Myocardium

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and its metabolites have been shown to exert complex effects on the cardiac muscle during cardiac ischemia/reperfusion. The aim of the present study, by perfusing H2O2 or/and different scavengers of oxygen free radicals (OFRs) into the human atrium, is to characterize the el...
