Ultrasound-Mediated Stimulation of Microbubbles after Acute Myocardial Infarction and Reperfusion Ameliorates Left-Ventricular Remodelling in Mice via Improvement of Borderzone Vascularization
Figure 5
Myocardial scar formation was determined by means of histomorphometry. (A) Representative images of short axis mouse heart sections stained with picrosirius-red and fast-green without (left) and with (right) UMS-treatment. The collagenous tissue is coloured red whereas myocardium is green. (B) UMS-treated mice demonstrated a significantly lower collagenous scar burden compared to control mice.
