<h4>Background</h4>Cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death with a very high mortality rate. No therapeutic drug that can be administered during resuscitation has been reported.

SS-31, a tetra-peptide, has been shown to protect mitochondria from ischaemia/reperfusion injury. Therefore, we tested whether SS-31 improves rat survival after prolonged cardiac arrest.<h4>Methods</h4>Rats ...[more]
