Area of Science:

Developmental biology
Cardiovascular research
Biomedical engineering

Background:

Altering early blood flow can cause congenital heart defects.
Previous methods for manipulating hemodynamics were imprecise and lacked monitoring.
Understanding mechanically-transduced signaling in heart development is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop precise methods for studying hemodynamics in embryonic heart development.
To investigate the role of blood flow in valvulogenesis.
To establish a system for controlled hemodynamic perturbations and measurements.

Main Methods:

Utilized optical pacing (OP) to noninvasively control quail embryo heart rate using infrared laser light.
Employed optical coherence tomography (OCT) to generate 4-D shear maps of endocardial shear stress.
Developed perturbation protocols to modify regurgitant flow and oscillatory shear index (OSI).

Main Results:

Successfully altered heart rate and measured resultant shear forces on the endocardium.
Generated 4-D shear maps to visualize spatial and temporal shear stress distribution.
Demonstrated ability to increase regurgitant flow and modify OSI in the developing heart tube.

Conclusions:

Optical pacing and OCT provide a precise system for studying embryonic cardiovascular mechanics.
Hemodynamic forces, specifically regurgitant flow and OSI, are significantly altered by these methods.
This approach offers a novel way to investigate the role of hemodynamics in heart valve formation.
