Living myocardial slices within the cardiac research pipeline. LMS can be prepared from heart samples, including whole heart animal models and human myectomy or LVAD samples. Interrogation of cardiac function, structure and biochemistry can then be performed on LMS. It is also possible to isolate individual cardiac cell populations from LMS. All of the data obtained can then be integrated with human/in vivo data the LMS are derived from
