Morphometric analysis of LV at 3 weeks after injection. (A) Representative Masson trichrome–stained myocardial sections from each group. Scar tissue and viable myocardium are identified in blue and red, respectively. (B to D) Quantitative analysis of LV morphometric parameters, including risk area, anterior (infarcted) wall thickness, and posterior (noninfarcted) wall thickness. The Mag group had a smaller risk area and thicker infarcted walls than did the NonMag group or the PBS group.
