摘要

The recent development of techniques for assessment of cardiac physiology in genetically engineered mice has allowed scientists to address some of the most fundamental questions related to congenital and acquired forms of human heart disease. It is possible to reliably examine murine cardiac physiology in vivo by use of microtransducers, echocardiography, and other miniaturized techniques (1-3). Sophisticated methods have also been developed to enable examination of single-cell phenotypes of isolated cardiomyocytes derived from genetically engineered mice. These physiologic assessments, coupled with conventional histologic examination and molecular markers, have allowed the characterization of several gene-targeted and transgenic mouse models of hypertrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy, as well as mouse models of cardiac developmental defects. Such mouse models of heart disease may ultimately allow the molecular dissection of the interplay between the various factors leading to heart disease, and they may serve as a guide to appropriate therapeutic strategies for human heart disease. To further study the dynamics of volume changes in the left ventricle (LV) and to obtain load-independent parameters of LV contractility, we have developed a method of measuring ventricular dimensions in the open thorax mouse.
