[Histonet] smooth muscle in heart valves

[Smith, Allen]

My experience has been that unless one does the differentiatiation step
under a microscope, all trichrome stains sometimes give false colors.

However, if the "false color" always appears in the same place, it may not
be false.  Filip, Radu, & Simionescu found smooth muscle in human heart
valves (Circ. Res. 59: 310-320, 1986).  Their finding has been confirmed in
subsequent papers from other laboratories, most recently by Borin,
Vanhercke, & Weyns (Acta Cardiol. 61: 463-469, 2006)
