Role of excessive mitochondrial fission in seawater immersion aggravated hemorrhagic shock-induced cardiac injury and the protective effect of Mdivi-1

Seawater immersion significantly aggravated organ dysfunction following hemorrhagic shock, leading to higher mortality rate. However, the effective treatment are still unavailable in clinic. Mitochondria were involved in the onset and development of multiple organ function disorders, whether mitochondria participate in the cardiac dysfunction following seawater immersion combined with hemorrhagic shock remains poorly understood. Hence, we investigated the role and possible mechanism of mitochondria in seawater immersion combined with hemorrhage shock-induced cardiac dysfunction were observed.
