Can spinal cord contusion cause ventricular fibrillation?

Spinal cord contusion primarily affects the spinal cord and may lead to various neurological deficits, but it does not directly cause ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation is typically associated with cardiac issues, such as myocardial infarction or severe electrolyte imbalances. However, severe spinal injuries can lead to autonomic dysregulation, which may indirectly affect heart function. Therefore, while not a direct cause, complications from spinal cord injuries could potentially contribute to cardiac disturbances in some cases.
