Isolation of Atrial Cardiomyocytes from a Rat Model of Metabolic Syndrome-related Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

In this article, we describe an optimized, Langendorff-based procedure for the isolation of single-cell atrial cardiomyocytes (ACMs) from a rat model of ...

Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is present in about 50% of HF patients. Atrial remodeling is common in HFpEF and associated with increased mortality. We postulate that atrial remodeling is associated with atrial dysfunction in vivo related to alterations in cardiomyocyte Calcium (Ca) signaling and remodeling. We examined atrial function in vivo and Ca transients (CaT) (Fluo4-AM, field stim) in atrial cardiomyocytes of ZSF-1 rats without (Ln; lean hypertensive) and with metabolic syndrome (Ob; obese, hypertensive, diabetic) and HFpEF.
