In normal hearts, capillaries are densely distributed throughout the myocardial tissue, and the cross-talk between myocytes and capillary endothelial cells plays a pivotal role in regulating cardiac development, maturation and function. Although previous studies have suggested a role for the endothelium in the organisation of nearby cardiomyocytes, the underlying mechanism has yet to be illustrated.
