Myocyte size. Haematoxylin and eosin staining was performed on myocardial samples from normal subjects (A) and heart failure patients at left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation (pre-LVAD) (B) and explantation (post-LVAD) (C). Myocyte size in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) was significantly larger (pre-LVAD) than normal controls and was reduced after left ventricular assist device support (D). *P < 0.001 vs. normal, †P < 0.0001 vs. pre-LVAD support.
