Angiogenesis in the infarcted heart: As detected by immunohistochemical CD31 labeling, normal myocardium (CTL) was rich in capillaries (brown). Following MI, pre-existing vessels were totally lost in the infarcted myocardium at day 1, newly formed microvessels appeared at the border zone at day 3. Abundant new microvessels were seen in the infarcted myocardium at day 7. Vascular density was then declined at day 14 and 28. x200
