Pathological assessment of neovascularization in AC-induced IHD and CI-induced AMI models. a and b von Willebrand factor was stained to detect neovascularization. von Willebrand factor-positive cells are more dominant in the AC-induced IHD model (NS; Not significant. *P < 0.05). c and d α-SMA was also stained to detect smooth muscle cells. There is significant difference of α-SMA-positive vessels in scar area between both models (Not significant. *P < 0.05)
