Atria are more susceptible to electroporation than ventricles: Implications for atrial stunning, shock-induced arrhythmia and defibrillation failure

Defibrillation shock is known to induce atrial stunning, which is electrical and mechanical dysfunction.We hypothesized that atrial stunning is due to higher atrial susceptibility to electroporation versus ventricles. We also hypothesize that electroporation …
