(a) Staining with Masson’s trichrome stain comparing a healthy zone (inferior wall of the left ventricle) with an ischemic zone (anterior wall with similar results for lateral wall). No necrosis was found demonstrating the absence of myocardial infarction. (b) Immunostaining with fluorescence of lectin found significant reduction in capillary density in anterior compared to the inferior wall.
