1. A set of two isolated cell populations for generating human cells of the cardiomyocyte lineage, consisting of:

  • a first cell population comprising pluripotent stem (pPS) cells isolated from a human blastocyst, and a second cell population that proliferates in culture, comprising at least ˜

    5% pPS derived cardiomyocyte and cardiomyocyte precursors, identifiable by the criteria that they are progeny of said pPS cells, and either have spontaneous contractile activity, or express at least one of the following markers from an endogenous gene;

    cardiac troponin I (cTnI), cardiac troponin T (cTnT), or atrial natriuretic factor (ANF).
