Within 7 days following AMI, compared with the AMI rats, in the HL-AMI rats, the myocardial infarct size, the plasma activity of CK, CK-MB, and the collagen deposition all remained at the higher levels; meanwhile, these rats showed more significant decreases in the count of CEPCs, the plasma level of VEGF etc., and their expression in myocardial tissue (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Here, VEGFA is linked to myocardial infarction.
