Abstract
The disclosure provides for electrode systems and perfusion systems that may be configured to measure the electrical activity of an explanted heart and to provide defibrillation energy as necessary. The perfusion systems may maintain the heart in a beating state at, or near, normal physiological conditions; circulate oxygenated, nutrient enriched perfusion fluid to the heart at or near physiological temperature, pressure, and/or flow rate. These systems may include a pair of electrodes that may be placed epicardially on the right atrium and/or left ventricle of the explanted heart, and/or an electrode placed in the aortic blood path.
