Comparison of explanted hearts from mice after induced myocardial infarction (top row) and after sham procedure (bottom row). Images a and d show myocardium stained with Evans blue indicating areas with enhanced permeability in the area of myocardial infarction (a, arrows). The corresponding sections display damaged tissue only for infarcted hearts (b vs. e) and corresponding signal void in T2-weighted MR images after infusion of VSPIO (c vs. f).
