Muscle cells in a heart from a healthy person and a patiënt with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (IMAGE)
Caption
A microscopy picture of muscle cells in a normal heart (left) and muscle cells in a heart of a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (right). The black areas are single muscle cells. The muscle cells of the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patient are bigger, and there is more space in between the cells (green), which is filled with scar tissues in the case of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The blue indicates where the DNA of the cells can be found.
