Abstract:
Ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has attracted special focus in the biological analysis field, because it could eliminate the environmental interference and allow for precise measurement. Herein, a dual-wavelength ratiometric ECL biosensor was designed for the detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), where (4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) (Ru(dcbpy)32+) and Au nanoparticle-loaded graphene oxide/polyethylenimine (GPRu-Au) nanomaterial acts as an acceptor, and Au nanoparticle-modified graphitic phase carbon nitride nanosheet composite (Au-CNN) acts as donor. Au-CNN shows a high and steady ECL signal centered at 455 nm, which is well-matched with the adsorption of GPRu-Au; thereby, a highly efficient electrochemiluminescent resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) sensing platform is designed. AuNPs facilitate the immobilization of antibody on the nanomaterials through a Au-N bond. The high surface area of graphene oxide/polyethylenimine allows a large number of Ru(dcbpy)32+ to be loaded, immensely amplifying the ECL signal. This sensing platform exhibits outstanding analytical performance toward cTnI with a detection limit of 3.94 fg/mL (S/N = 3). The high reliability, selectivity, and sensitivity of this ratiometric ECL biosensor provides a versatile sensing platform for the bioanalysis.

Preload
Preload refers to the initial elongation of the cardiac myocytes before contraction and is related to the volume of blood filling the heart at the end of diastole, or end-diastolic volume. The...
01:19Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart...
01:13The Cardiac Cycle
The Process
Electrical signals—sent from the sinoatrial (SA) node in the right atrial wall to the atrioventricular (AV) node between the right atrium and right ventricle—cause both atria to simultaneously contract. When the signal reaches the AV node, it pauses for approximately a tenth of a second, allowing the atria to contract and...

During the cardiac cycle, blood flow through the heart is regulated entirely by changing pressure gradients. This sequence of events begins with the heart in a state of total relaxation, known as mid-to-late diastole, during which blood passively flows from...
