Fast measurement of sarcomere length and cell orientation in Langendorff-perfused hearts using remote focusing microscopy.
RATIONALE: Sarcomere length (SL) is a key indicator of cardiac mechanical function, but current imaging technologies are limited in their ability to unambiguously measure and characterize SL at the cell level in intact, living tissue. OBJECTIVE: We developed a method for measuring SL and regional ce...
