Expert opinion on drug delivery·2017

Electrical preconditioning with 2 Hz stimulation significantly improved skeletal muscle ventricle (SMV) stroke work. Passive stretch further enhanced performance, with 2 Hz preconditioned SMVs achieving substantial percentages of native canine ventricular stroke work.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cardiovascular Research
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Skeletal muscle ventricles (SMVs) show promise for cardiac replacement.
  • Optimizing SMV performance requires understanding preconditioning effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of electrical preconditioning parameters on SMV stroke work.
  • To assess the influence of passive stretch during preconditioning.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-one canine SMVs were constructed.
  • Electrical preconditioning utilized 2 Hz continuous and 25 Hz burst patterns.
  • Passive stretch was applied during preconditioning.
  • Stroke work was measured in vivo using a mock circulation device at varying preloads and afterloads.

Main Results:

  • SMVs preconditioned with 2 Hz stimulation demonstrated significantly higher stroke work than those with 25 Hz preconditioning (p ≤ 0.001).
  • Passive stretch during 2 Hz preconditioning further increased stroke work (p < 0.05).
  • At 85 Hz stimulation, 2 Hz preconditioned SMVs achieved 410% of canine right ventricular and 59% of left ventricular stroke work.

Conclusions:

  • Low-frequency (2 Hz) electrical preconditioning is superior for enhancing SMV stroke work.
  • Incorporating passive stretch during preconditioning offers additional performance benefits.
  • Optimized SMVs show potential for significant cardiac assistance or replacement.
