In-situ optical assessment of rat epicardial kinematic parameters reveals frequency-dependent mechanic heterogeneity related to gender

ConclusionOur innovative technology was capable to evaluate in-situ rat epicardial kinematic at high stimulation frequency, revealing that male preserved kinematic parameters but varying the pattern of contraction/relaxation. On the contrary, female preserved the pattern of contraction/relaxation increasing kinematic parameters.
