A Langendorff-like system to quantify cardiac pump function in adult zebrafish

A Langendorff-like system to quantify cardiac pump function in adult zebrafish

Zebrafish are increasingly used as a vertebrate model to study human cardiovascular disorders. Although heart structure and function are readily visualized in zebrafish embryos because of their optical transparency, the lack of effective tools for evaluating the hearts of older, nontransparent fish...
