pubmed:abstractText
The fatigue resistance and power-to-weight ratio of skeletal muscle that has been conditioned by electrical stimulation makes cardiac assistance from a graft of such muscle a realistic prospect. A skeletal muscle must be surgically reconfigured to act on the circulating blood, but little is known about the power losses that accompany such interventions. We investigated in acute experiments the hydraulic performance of approximately cylindrical pumps made from sheep latissimus dorsi (LD) muscles, having first characterized the performance of each muscle in situ.
