Implication

Questions assumptions of transmural heterogeneity in rodent hearts; leaves open applicability to humans or disease states.

PICO

P
Population
4 glutaraldehyde perfusion-fixed rat hearts analyzed for capillary geometry in the subepicardium and subendocardium.
E
Exposure / Comparator
Subepicardium vs Subendocardium
O
Primary Outcome
Capillary surface area per volume of muscle fiber and other geometric parameters

Cite This Study

Poole et al. (1990) studied this question. Subepicardium vs Subendocardium was evaluated on Capillary surface area per volume of muscle fiber and other geometric parameters. No systematic difference was found in fiber size, capillary diameter, or capillary surface per volume of muscle fiber between the subepicardium and subendocardium in rat hearts.
