Implication

Supports higher ventricular capillary density than skeletal muscle in animals; leaves open translation to human cardiac perfusion or disease.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Beating hearts (preclinical anatomical model)
I
Intervention
Injections made into the coronary arteries
O
Outcome
Number of capillaries in the normal heart muscle

This early anatomical study demonstrates the high capillary density of the ventricular myocardium compared to skeletal muscle.
