    Acute myocardial infarction leads to ischemic heart disease, a major global health issue and the leading cause of death.

  • 2

    Coronary endothelial cells undergo phenotypic changes post-infarction, forming new blood vessels to support ischemic tissue.

  • 3

    Despite new vessel formation, heart failure patients often experience coronary microvascular dysfunction and disrupted blood flow.

  • 4

    The study reveals that coronary endothelial cells exhibit venous-enriched maturation after myocardial infarction.

  • 5

    Disrupted arterial-venous maturation in coronary microvascular plexus may contribute to the pathology of ischemic heart failure.
