Abstract

In vitro generated human cardiomyocytes hold the ultimate promise for heart patients for repair of injured or diseased myocardium, but they also provide experimental models for studying normal cardiomyocyte development, for disease modelling and for drug development. Here we provide reliable protocols for differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into functional cardiomyocytes, together with Notes about trouble shooting and optimising such protocols for specific cell lines. This chapter also briefly discusses other published protocols and those further adapted for differentiation of induced Pluripotent Stem Cells into cardiomyocytes.
