Figure 2 Comparison Between Successful BW and Unsuccessful MW Shocks of the Same Strength
There were significant differential effects of monophasic waveform (MW) (diamonds) and biphasic waveform (BW) (squares) shocks on the peak (maximum) area showing simultaneous depolarization of the membrane potential after shock (VmP) and the peak (maximum) area showing higher than average intracellular calcium after shock (CaiP), as well as time from shock to the peak area showing simultaneous depolarization of the membrane potential after shock (VmPT) and time from shock to the peak post-shock intracellular calcium (CaiPT).
