La ligadura permanente de la arteria coronaria descendente anterior en ratones: un modelo de remodelación post infarto de miocardio e insuficiencia cardiaca
Heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization and a major cause of mortality. A model of permanent ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery in mice is applied to investigate ventricular remodelling and cardiac dysfunction post-myocardial infarction. The technique of invasive hemodynamic measurements in mice is presented.
