Mimicking the cardiac cycle in intact cardiomyocytes using diastolic and systolic force clamps; measuring power output

Conclusion Here, we introduce a new approach that by combining mechanics, electronics, and a new type optical force transducer can measure the FL relationship of a single isolated cardiomyocyte undergoing a mechanical loop that mimics the PV cycle of a beating heart.
