Langendorff Heart

Synopsis

A computer simulation of experiments that may be performed on the isolated, perfused mammalian heart (Langendorff preparation). Describes the preparation and experimental method and allows the user to select a range of experiments including the effects of drugs (sympathomimetics, parasympathomimetics, cardiac glycosides and coronary vasodilators, in which drugs may be given alone or in combination with a range of antagonists or potentiators), the effect of ions, the effect of increasing pre-load on contractile (ventricular) force (Starling’s law). The simulated responses (heart rate, ventricular force and coronary blood flow) are derived from actual experimental data.
