Partial left ventriculectomy is a new surgical option quickly introduced into clinical
use worldwide for treating end-stage heart failure in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
Due to the overwhelming success of this new kind of surgical treatment for dilated
cardiomyopathy, experimental research on the physiological and pathophysiological
basis was initially not performed. Now, demands for an appropriate animal model have
arisen more and more since the outcome of patients treated by partial left ventriculectomy
has differed considerably. This review summarizes available experimental models for
heart failure in large animals, and discusses their suitability for research on partial
left ventriculectomy.
Key words:
Animal model - Partial left ventriculectomy
