Development of a cardiac loading device to monitor cardiac function during ex vivo graft perfusion

BACKGROUND: Ex vivo heart perfusion systems, allowing continuous perfusion of the coronary vasculature, have recently been introduced to limit ischemic time of donor hearts prior to transplantation. Hearts are, however, perfused in an unloaded manner (via the aorta) and therefore, cardiac contractil...
