QT Service Using Langendorff Perfused Heart

As the most common reason for cardiotoxicity, QT interval prolongation can serve as a direct indicator for drug cardiotoxicity. The QT interval, a measure of time from the start of the Q wave to the end of the T wave, represents the electrical depolarization and repolarization of the ventricles. QT prolongation implies a delayed ventricular repolarization which may cause ventricular tachyarrhythmias and possibly sudden cardiac death. Among all drug safety issues, QT prolongation is one of the leading causes of therapeutic drug failures during preclinical development.

Creative Bioarray provides QT prolongation assay using isolated heart (Langendorff Assay) to evaluate the cardiotoxicity of compounds with QT interval as the indicator. The potential to prolong the QT interval has a major impact on drug development programs. A rapid, inexpensive, reproducible and sensitive predictions of QT-prolonging potential can be provided by isolated heart preparation by Langendorff preparation. Moreover, this preparation allows the assessment of the effects of a drug on electrophysiological (ECG, MAP) and mechanical (left ventricular tension, coronary pressure and flow rate) parameters, yielding a variety of safety or toxicity indicators in a single study. Common disease phenotypes are easily reproduced using this complex ex vivo model.
