The study of the pathophysiology and possible interventions for non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is hindered by the lack of a reproducible pre-clinical model. Here, authors develop an ovine model to reproduce post-ischemic remodeling in non-ST myocardial infarction and reveal distinct complex sugar moieties in cellular membranes and extracellular matrix patterns in infarcted tissue.
