Fig 1 Photomicrographs of the right ventricular myocardium from four representative animals, (A and B) 2 from the traditional group and (C and D) 2 from the intermittent group, after 4 weeks of systolic overload. Panels A and B show a higher density and intensity of collagen staining (red fibers around individual cardiomyocytes endomysial fibrosis) than that in panels C and D (Sirius-red staining, original magnification ×20).
