N2 - High intensity, pulsed electric fields are applied to cardiac muscle during internal defibrillation and can result in various forms of injury. To investigate whether electroporation may play a role in cardiac muscle under these conditions, a multi-prong approach was adopted to study experimentally three structural levels in cardiac muscle: intact tissue, isolated single cell, and membrane patch. A brief overview of the work over the past 4 years is presented. Results support the idea that electroporation can play a significant role in electrical injury of the heart.
