What I we did in lab today working heart

[sportsmedjosh]

Well guys, I figured I would show you guys what we did in lab today. I headed up to another lab up the hill from mine to learn some new skills and got to watch this. This is a little older from a couple weeks back but it's still cool none the less.

This video demonstrates the method of isolating and perfusing a mouse heart. Cannulation through the aorta and retrograde perfusion followed by atrial cannulation and working perfusion is shown. A micro-tip cathetar is then inserted into the left ventricle that allows for ventricular pressure and volume measurements while being perfused with albumin in a working mode.

did you have an electric charge to it?

What happened to the vid? What's the point of that experiment, to alter myocardial capillary permeability? :squinteye

No, just the fluid.

I want to open a cigar store next to bass pro shop, make wine, or become a chef. But my formal training is in exercise physiology.

Guess I should have waited to ask what was going on there. :rofl:

Okay, not that i understood what you said… we need you to speak "english" here, lol!
Point is, pretty cool video. I love watching that kind of videos, don't know why. Never wanted to be a Doctor but i admit that it is extremely interesting!
It would be awesome if you would post more videos.

P.S. How is that the heart is still working?! i mean, i know there's fluid but… how?!
