Chen Y-F, Said S, Campbell SE, Gerdes AM. A method to collect isolated myocytes and whole tissue from the same heart. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 293: H2004–H2006, 2007. First published May 18, 2007; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.00479.2007.—A technique for isolation of cardiac myocytes and collection of whole heart tissue from individual hearts of adult rats is described in this study. After excision of the apical half of the left ventricle (LV) and cauterization of the cut edge, aortas were cannulated and high-quality isolated cardiac myocytes were collected after collagenase perfusion of the basal portion. Myocyte dimensions from the basal portion of cauterized and noncauterized hearts from matching rats were identical. Additionally, myocyte dimensions from the basal and apical halves of the LV were compared with the use of whole heart-isolated myocyte preps. No regional differences between basal and apical LV myocyte size were found. Therefore, this cauterization method can be used to collect isolated myocytes from the basal half and whole heart tissue from the apical half, with each half being representative of the other with respect to myocyte dimensions.

متن کاملA novel isolated dual perfusion/superfusion heart model for physiological and pharmacological evaluation of mammalian heart preparations
Abstract Introduction: Isolated perfused heart models such as perfusion and superfusion are commonly used for mammalian heart research. However, there are several fundamental limitations in the current techniques. In perfusion model, a suitable cannula is connected to the aorta and the perfusion is retrogradely performed. But, electrode displacement is a potential unwanted event resulted fr...
متن کاملAN INNOVATIVE SURGIC AL TECHNIQUE FOR CONTINUOUS SUTURING OF PROSTHESIS IN MITR AL VALVE REPL A CEMENT
Mitral valve replacement (MVR) is usually performed in two methods of running and interrupted suturing. In running method, the suturing of the valve is usually with some traction on the annulus and also there is a risk of aortic valve injury. This study was conducted to evaluate a new technique for suturing to avoid these complications and decrease the time of cardiac arrest. One hundred an...

متن کاملA Simplified, Langendorff-Free Method for Concomitant Isolation of Viable Cardiac Myocytes and Nonmyocytes From the Adult Mouse Heart.
RATIONALE Cardiovascular disease represents a global pandemic. The advent of and recent advances in mouse genomics, epigenomics, and transgenics offer ever-greater potential for powerful avenues of research. However, progress is often constrained by unique complexities associated with the isolation of viable myocytes from the adult mouse heart. Current protocols rely on retrograde aortic perfus...
