This procedure describes the isolation and culture of adult mouse cardiac myocytes from two or more hearts. Includes modifications for the digestion of two or more hearts in the same procedure and subsequent pooling of myocytes derived from the multiple hearts. The isolation procedure is performed by one or more technicians and routinely yields approximately 1 million rod-shaped myocytes per heart.
