Abstract

We propose a simple and quantitative assessment of cardiac maturation by calcium propagation velocity. A microfiber-shaped cardiac tissue enables the uniform orientation of cardiomyocyte along the fiber direction, allowing the easy calculation of propagation velocities by one-way-transmission of signals over a long distance. We evaluated the maturation of our microfiber tissues by electrical stimulation and detected 26% increase in the propagation velocity comparing to the immature tissue. Our system of maturity assessment would contribute to the construction of matured cardiac model as a platform for elucidating the pathology of cardiac diseases and drug effects.
