Implication

Maps rat coronary SMC/pericyte adaptations; extends anatomical detail but leaves open human disease relevance.

Structured PICO

Population

Rat heart (cardiac vessels)

Intervention

Scanning electron microscopy after removal of connective tissue matrices using a modified KOH-collagenase digestion method

Outcome

Cytoarchitecture of smooth muscle cells and pericytes in cardiac vessels

This study provides detailed anatomical mapping of smooth muscle cells and pericytes in the rat coronary vasculature, highlighting structural adaptations to mechanical forces.
