Five isolated canine heart-lung preparations were successfully ventilated with intermittent negative pressure in a specially constructed chamber. Improved cardiopulmonary dynamics resulted in increased survival time and improved performance of all preparations. Results obtained with these preparations exceed most of the others reported in the literature. Submitted on May 9, 1960

To investigate the mechanism by which increased pleural pressure (Ppl) assists left ventricular (LV) ejection, we compared the effects of phasic systolic or diastolic increases in Ppl (40-60 mmHg) with use of an isolated canine heart-lung preparation with constant venous return. Positive Ppl during systole (S) caused left atrial transmural pressure (Platm = Pla - Ppl) to decrease by 1.25 +/- 0.46 (SE) mmHg (P less than 0.025). Central blood volume (CBV), the volume of blood in the heart, lungs, and thoracic great vessels, decreased by 29 +/- 4.0 (SE) ml (P less than 0.001). When Ppl was raised for an equal duration during diastole (D), the decrease in Platm was not significant, but there was a significant decrease in CBV (10.5 +/- 4.1 ml, P less than 0.05). With constant venous return, these changes suggested that phasic elevations in Ppl in either S or D assisted LV ejection by decreasing LV afterload. To test the hypothesis that positive Ppl during D reduced afterload by emptying the thoracic aorta, we compared the effects of diastolic positive Ppl with a rigid aorta vs. a compliant aorta. Although there was no statistical difference in the effects of diastolic positive Ppl on Platm, the decrease in CBV was significantly greater when the aorta was compliant than when it was rigid (23 +/- 2.2 vs. 17 +/- 2.7 ml, P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

<div> <p>The ability to non-invasively monitor membrane potential dynamics in excitable cells like neurons and cardiomyocytes promises to revolutionize our understanding of the physiology and pathology of the brain and heart. Here, we report the design, synthesis, and application of a new class of fluorescent voltage indicator that makes use of a fluorene-based molecular wire as a voltage sensing domain to provide fast and sensitive measurements of membrane potential in both mammalian neurons and human-derived cardiomyocytes. We show that the best of the new probes, fluorene VoltageFluor 2 (fVF 2) readily reports on action potentials in mammalian neurons, detects perturbations to cardiac action potential waveform in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes, shows a substantial decrease in phototoxicity compared to existing molecular wire-based indicators, and can monitor cardiac action potentials for extended periods of time. Together, our results demonstrate the generalizability of a molecular wire approach to voltage sensing and highlights the utility of fVF 2 for interrogating membrane potential dynamics.</p> </div>

hERG (Human ether-a-go-go-related gene) potassium channel, which plays an essential role in cardiac action potential repolarization, is responsible for inherited and druginduced long QT syndrome. Recently, the Cryo-EM structure capturing the open conformation of hERG channel was determined, thus pushing the study on hERG channel at 3.8 Å resolution. This report focuses primarily on summarizing the design rationale and application of several fluorescent probes that target hERG channels, which enables dynamic and real-time monitoring of potassium pore channel affinity to further advance the understanding of the channels.
