The cultures of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes represent a very useful tool for the observation and the understanding of the cellular aspects of the electrophysiological, contractile, morphological, metabolic and molecular properties of the myocardium. This model is characterized by a homogeneous population of cardiac muscular cells and by vast possibilities of control of the chemical and physical environment of the cells, allowing the in vitro mimicry of a wide range of cardiac pathological situations. The cardiomyocyte cultures are thus suited to very varied experimental protocols, allowing multiparametric analysis of the cardiocellular effects of different stress such as hypoxia-reoxygenation, of ischemia-reperfusion, of the free radical attack and of thermal shock. These investigations can be combined with the study of the effects and of the cytotoxicity of pharmacological agents, not limited to the putatively cardioactive drugs. The present review proposes an outline of the procedures for the isolation, the culture and the use of neonatal cardiomyocytes. To illustrate the potentialities of this preparation, we describe more specifically the protocols and the various consequences at the cellular scale of an in vitro model of myocardial ischemia reperfusion.
