Cardiomyocytes of heart ventricles consist of subpopulations of trabecular and compact subtypes. Here the authors describe the generation of structurally, metabolically and functionally mature compact ventricular cardiomyocytes as well as mature atrial cardiomyocytes from human pluripotent stem cells.
