Background Oxygen free radicals (OFRs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of myocardial stunning, but the precise mechanism by which OFRs foster stunning remains unclear. We investigated the pathophysiology of the contractile dysfunction that occurs after direct exposure of OFRs to cardiac muscle and compared the results with the pathophysiology of stunned myocardium.Methods and Results Trabeculae from the right ventricles of rat hearts were loaded iontophoretically with fura-2 to determine [Ca2+](i). Steady-state force-[Ca2+](i) relations were obtained by rapid electrical stimulation in the presence of ryanodine. Two exogenous OFR-generating systems were used: H2O2+Fe3+-nitrilotriacetic acid (H2O2+Fe3+) to produce hydroxyl radical, and xanthine oxidase+purine (XO+P) to produce superoxide. In muscles exposed to H2O2+Fe3+ for 10 minutes, both twitch force and Ca2+ transients were decreased (eg, in 1.5 mmol/L external [Ca2+], force decreased from 41+/-7 to 23+/-4 mN/mm(2), P
