Abstract
Recent molecular approaches have provided deeper insight on heart failure. However, real-time in vivo cellular dynamics have not been satisfactorily visualized. Here, we present a detailed protocol for in vivo cellular imaging for visualization of the rat heart using two-photon microscopy.
