Abstract: Chronic heart failure(CHF)is a complex cardiovascular syndrome.The establishment of an appropriate animal model of CHF is crucial for the study of pathogenesis and pharmacotherapy in CHF.Porcine models of chronic heart failure have became imperative because minipig is closer to human in physiopathology and anatomy.In recent years,the commonly used methods of minipig models of CHF are myocardial infarction,volume overload,pressure overload,drug-induced and ventricular rapid pacing.

Key words: chronic heart failure, animal model, minipig, myocardial infarction
