Fig. 3. Quantification of LV remodeling after MI using histologic analysis and whole-cell capacitance.
a, Histologic sections (Masson’s trichrome stain) of LV anterior wall of sham-operated and MI mouse hearts, showing connective tissues in blue. b, Representative photomicrographs of bright-field images of single isolated LV cardiomyocyte remote from infracted area. c, d, Summary data for % infracted area and cell capacitance, respectively. Data shown are mean ± s.e.m., n = 12 mice for each group, *p<0.05. Similar data were obtained with AEPU.
