Abstract
A novel cardiomimetic biohybrid material, termed as the human ventricular cardiac anisotropic sheet (hvCAS) is reported. Well-characterized human pluripotent stem-cell-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes are strategically aligned to reproduce key electrophysiological features of native human ventricle, which, along with specific selection criteria, allows for a direct visualization of arrhythmic spiral re-entry and represents a revolutionary tool to assess preclinical drug-induced arrhythmogenicity.
