    This study presents a new method for perfusing isolated rat hearts using washed red blood cells in a buffer solution. This technique effectively mimics in-vivo hemodynamics and is suitable for studying myocardial oxygen delivery dynamics.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Cardiovascular Research
    • Experimental Biology

    Background:

    • Studying myocardial oxygen delivery requires a stable, working heart model.
    • Previous methods may not accurately replicate in-vivo conditions for isolated heart perfusion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a perfusion method for an isolated working rat heart.
    • To assess the impact of hematocrit on myocardial hemodynamics and oxygen consumption.
    • To establish a model for studying myocardial oxygen delivery dynamics.

    Main Methods:

    • Perfusion of isolated rat hearts using washed erythrocytes in Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer with bovine albumin.
    • Variation of hematocrit (0-40%) using washed pig red blood cells.
    • Measurement of coronary flow (CF), aortic flow (AF), external work (W), and myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2).

    Main Results:

    • Hemodynamic parameters (CF, AF) at 30% hematocrit closely matched those of intact animals.
    • Myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) was assessed across varying hematocrits.
    • Highest coronary sinus PO2 observed with cell-free perfusate, suggesting potential shunting.

    Conclusions:

    • The described perfusion method provides a stable and reliable model for isolated working rat hearts.
    • This technique accurately reproduces in-vivo hemodynamic conditions.
    • The model is well-suited for investigating the dynamics of myocardial oxygen delivery and related physiological processes.
