Abstract

Figures

Cardiac histology at 4 and 8 weeks post-procedure. (A) Representative images of short-axis cardiac sections with hematoxylin and eosin staining in Sham and OTAC. Left: 4 × magnification of left ventricular at mid-ventricular sections. Scale = 500 µm. Right: 40 × magnification of a representative area. Scale = 100 µm. (B) Quantification of cardiomyocyte diameter of the short axis. (C) Quantification of cardiomyocyte area. Comparison among groups was performed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc tests; n = 9–14. *P* < 0.01; P* < 0.001; *P* < 0.0001.

This Article contains errors in Figure 5, panel (A) where both high-magnification images corresponding to OTAC 0.45 and OTAC 0.50 at 4 weeks (4w) are accidentally swapped between different samples. Additionally, the regions shown in the low-magnification images for OTAC 0.50 at 8 weeks (8w) do not correctly correspond to the high-magnification images. The correct Figure 5 and accompanying legend appears below.Figure 5. Cardiac histology at 4 and 8 weeks post-procedure.
