Abstract
This model of MI is reliable, reproducible, has a pathophysiology similar to humans, and a lower mortality and ventricular fibrillation rates compared to other models. This model may be used to evaluate the effects of pharmacologics, gene therapy, and stem cell transplantation for the treatment of cardiovascular disease as well as studying mechanisms of cardiac remodeling.
