Skeletal muscle ventricles were constructed from canine latissimus dorsi and connected to the thoracic aorta in six dogs. These ventricles were stimulated to contract synchronously during diastole. The skeletal muscle ventricles were capable of continuous stroke work when placed within the arterial circulation for several weeks. Effective synchronous diastolic counterpulsation was produced. These results demonstrate that diastolic counterpulsators can be constructed from skeletal muscle and in the future may provide a feasible therapeutic alternative for the treatment of end-stage cardiac failure.
从犬的背阔肌构建骨骼肌心室，并将其与六只狗的胸主动脉相连。在舒张期刺激这些心室同步收缩。当置于动脉循环中数周时，骨骼肌心室能够持续进行搏出功。产生了有效的同步舒张期反搏。这些结果表明，舒张期反搏器可以由骨骼肌构建，并且在未来可能为终末期心力衰竭的治疗提供一种可行的治疗选择。
