From: Biomimetic electromechanical stimulation to maintain adult myocardial slices in vitro
Electromechanical stimulation of human myocardial slices for 24 h and chronic culture of rabbit myocardial slices for 5 days (120 h). a Contractility of human heart failure myocardial slices cultured for 24 h (N = 6). b Contractility of rabbit myocardial slices cultured for 5 days—0 h (N = 6), 24 h (N = 11) and 120 h (N = 6) (grey) and the basal contractility was measured every 2 h during the 5-day experiments (N = 6) (blue). N = number of myocardial slices. Black dots represent individual data points. Mean ± standard error is shown on graphs. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine whether there were any statistically significant differences between the means of groups. $, $$, $$$ = p value < 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001, respectively compared with 0 h. *, **, *** = p value < 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001, respectively, between the two groups highlighted by a bar.
