The overall goal of the current study is to present the techniques of induction of myocardial infarction (MI) and post-myocardial infarction heart failure (post-MI HF) in closed-chest, adult Göttingen minipigs and the characterization of post-MI HF model in Göttingen minipigs as compared to Landrace pigs.
