Abstract

Abstract:

Myocardial infarction is one of the severe cardiovascular diseases. The patients with myocardial infarction die of heart failure or arrhythmia. In recent years, the studies in myocardial infarction therapies have advanced greatly, especially the preclinical experimental studies. The experimental studies of myocardial infarction often rely on animal models. Therefore, successful establishment of the myocardial infarction models has important application value in exploring the new techniques and measures for repairing the infarcted myocardium. In this paper, the techniques in establishment of the myocardial infarction models and strategies of their application are summarized.

Key words: Coronary artery, Myocardial infarction, Myocardial regeneration, Angiogenesis, Animal model
