ABSTRACT
Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiac organoids offer a versatile platform for personalized cardiac toxicity assessment, drug screening, disease modeling, and regenerative therapies. While previous image-based contractility analysis techniques allowed the assessment of contractility of two-dimensional cardiac models, they face limitations, including encountering high noise levels when applied to three-dimensional organoid models and requiring expensive equipment. Additionally, they offer fewer functional parameters compared to commercial software. To address these challenges, we developed an open-source, particle image velocimetry-based software (PIV-MyoMonitor) and demonstrated its capacity for accurate contractility analysis in both two- and three-dimensional cardiac models using standard lab equipment. Comparisons with four other open-source software programs highlighted the capability of PIV-MyoMonitor for more comprehensive quantitative analysis, providing 22 functional parameters and enhanced video outputs. We showcased its applicability in drug screening by characterizing the response of cardiac organoids to a known isotropic drug, isoprenaline. In sum, PIV-MyoMonitor enables reliable contractility assessment across various cardiac models without costly equipment or software. We believe this software will benefit a broader scientific community.
