Figure 3. Microvessel density is significantly decreased in the remote myocardium eight weeks post MI.

Figure 3

A to D, Representative tissue slide from remote myocardium with vWF staining in sham (A), one week (B), four weeks (C) and eight weeks group (D); E, Accumulated results show microvessel density is significantly increased in peri-infarct zone after MI. No temporal changes of microvessel density in peri-infarct myocardium is observed after MI. F, Accumulated results show microvessel density in remote myocardium is moderately increased after MI, and significantly decreased eight weeks post MI (n = 4). # P<0.05 compared by group of 8 wks post MI. * P<0.05 compared by sham group.
