Biventricular working heart preparations are significantly more susceptible to changes in oxygen supply and workload compared to Langendorff-perfused hearts, highlighting the metabolic differences between isolated heart models.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant caution extrapolating working heart oxygen sensitivity to patients; leaves open optimal isolated-heart model selection for metabolic studies.
Wengrowski et al. (2013) studied this question.
