The ability to track disease without tissue biopsy in patients is a major goal in biology and medicine. Here, we identify and characterize cardiomyocyte-derived extracellular vesicles in circulation (EVs; "cardiovesicles") through comprehensive studies of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, genetic mouse models, and state-of-the-art mass spectrometry and low-input transcriptomics. These studies identified two markers (POPDC2, CHRNE) enriched on cardiovesicles for biotinylated antibody-based immunocapture. Captured cardiovesicles were enriched in canonical cardiomyocyte transcripts/pathways with distinct profiles based on human disease type (heart failure, myocardial infarction). In paired myocardial tissue-plasma from patients, highly expressed genes in cardiovesicles were largely cardiac-enriched (vs. "bulk" EVs, which were more organ non-specific) with high expression in myocardial tissue by single nuclear RNA-seq, largely in cardiomyocytes. These results demonstrate the first "liquid" biopsy discovery platform to interrogate cardiomyocyte states noninvasively in model systems and in human disease, allowing non-invasive characterization of cardiomyocyte biology for discovery and therapeutic applications.
