Computational Analysis of Contractility in Engineered Heart Tissue

Abstract: Engineered heart tissue (EHT) is a potential therapy for heart failure and the basis of functional in vitro assays of novel cardiovascular treatments. Self-organizing EHT can be generated in fiber form, which makes the assessment of contractile function convenient with a force transducer. Contractile function is a key parameter of EHT performance. Analysis of EHT force data is often performed manually; however, this approach is time consuming, incomplete and subjective. Therefore, the purpose of this study was… Show more

“…The development of new approaches to measure biological tissues' contractile properties is therefore of high interest, and noninvasive techniques are always more attractive [ 23 , 24 ]. A contactless automated approach to measure this distinguished feature could therefore allow avoiding time consuming, incomplete and subjective measurements [ 25 ].…”
