Objective To establish an experimental animal model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the swine. Methods Under sterilization, the swine’s chest was cut open and the left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) was ligated.Results After the operation, the changes of Electrocardiogram (ECG) and myocardial-enzymes in the blood serum and selective coronary angiography all proved that the animal model of AMI in the swine was successful. Conclusions Ligating coronary was a valuable method to make an animal model of AMI.
