The Hugo Sachs Elektronik - Harvard Apparatus IH-SR isolated-heart perfusion system uses a patented flow resistance and compliance chamber to mimic the in-vivo cardiac afterload in rodent models.
This feature creates an environment for the heart that more closely resembles the actual resistance of the peripheral vasculature and sets a new standard for isolated heart research, according to Hugo Sachs.
The system enables the measurement of a range of cardiovascular parameters.
In the working heart model, the most relevant of these is the pressure-volume relationship in the left ventricle.
The IH-SR integrates a direct pathway providing access to the left ventricle for Millar high-fidelity pressure or pressure-volume catheters.
Millar catheters and hardware integrate with the Hugo Sachs Elektronik-Harvard Apparatus IH-SR to create a complete cardiovascular physiology solution.
