Abstract
Bradyarrhythmia poses a serious threat to human health, with chronic progression causing heart failure and acute onset leading to sudden death. In this study, we develop a scalable drug-mimicking nanoplasmonic therapeutic strategy by introducing gold nanorod (Au NR) mediated near-infrared (NIR) photothermal effects. An integrated sensing and regulation platform is established for in situ synchronized NIR laser regulation and electrophysiological property recording. The Au NR plasmonic regulation enables the restoration of normal cardiomyocyte rhythm from the bradyarrhythmia. By regulating the aspect ratio and concentration of Au NRs, as well as the intensity and time of NIR irradiation, we precisely optimized the plasmonic photothermal effect to explore effective therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, mRNA sequencing revealed a significant increase in the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in the electrophysiological activities of cardiomyocytes following photothermal therapy. Au NR-mediated plasmonic photothermal therapy, as an efficient and noninvasive approach to bradyarrhythmia, holds profound implications for cardiology research.
