ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the features of ischemic myocardial contracture after asphyxial cardiac arrest in rats.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Asphyxial cardiac arrest was induced in 8 Wistar rats, and the length and width of the heart were measured at the different time points after cardiac arrest.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Obvious ischemic myocardial contracture occurred after the cardiac arrest, reaching the maximal contracture at 4-6 min after the arrest.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Ischemic myocardial contracture induced by asphyxia may be an important factor affecting the outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.</p>
