註釋Myocardial disease is one of the largest medical burdens facing populations of the developed world. Increasing diabetes and obesity in both the developed and developing world suggests that this problem will increase with time. So far, development of novel therapeutic approaches to myocardial disease has lagged behind medical need. One of the key components lacking from this area of medicine is reliable animal systems to model increasingly complex patient populations. This chapter takes a disease-centred approach to reviewing commonly used animal models of myocardial disease. It goes on to discuss possible future approaches to adapting existing models to the changing spectrum of cardiac disease.
