Advances in Multidimensional Cardiac Biosensing Technologies: From Electrophysiology to Mechanical Motion and Contractile Force

This review focuses on the recent advances of biosensing technologies for the 2D and 3D cardiac models with three special properties: electrophysiology, mechanical motion, and contractile force. Moreover, the characteristics, advantages, limitations, and applications of these cardiac biosensing technologies, as well as the future development prospects are also introduced and discussed. AbstractCardiovascular disease is currently a leading killer to human, while drug ‐induced cardiotoxicity remains the main cause of the withdrawal and attrition of drugs. Taking clinical correlation and throughput into account, cardiomyocyte is perfect as in vitro cardiac model for heart disease modeling, drug discovery, and cardiotoxicity assessment by accurately measuring the physiological multiparameters of cardiomyocytes. Remarkably, cardiomyocytes present both electrophysiological and biomechanical characteristics due to the unique excitation–contraction coupling, which plays a significant role in studying the cardiomyocytes. This review mainly focuses on the recen t advances of biosensing technologies for the 2D and 3D cardiac models with three special properties: electrophysiology, mechanical motion, and contractile force. These high‐performance multidimensional cardiac models are popular and effective to rebuild and mimic the heart in vitro. To help under stand the high‐quality and accurate physiologies, related detection techniques are highly demanded, from microtechnology to n...
