AbstractCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most prevalent health problem in the world, and the high mortality rate associated with irreversibly injured heart muscle motivates an urgent need for the development of novel therapies to treat damaged myocardium. Recently, human engineered cardiac tissues (hECT) have been created using cardiomyocytes (CM) derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC). Although a healthy adult phenotype remains elusive, such hECT display structural and functional properties that recapitulate key aspects of natural human myocardium, including dose related responses to compounds with known chronotropic, inotropic and arrhythmogenic effects. Thus, hECT offer the advantage over traditional in vitro culture models of providing a biomimetic 3D environment for the study of myocardial physiopathology, and may be used to generate preclinical models for the development and screening of therapies for CVD. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
