Functional Anatomy of the Sheep Heart as a Model for Testing Cardiovascular Devices
The anatomical and functional characteristics of the sheep heart are close but not identical to human hearts. The sheep is a valid experimental model for preclinical testing of implantable cardiovascular devices, but a successful experiment requires careful screening of animals with echocardiographic assessment of the target zone parameters and selection of the appropriate device size.
