متن کاملChemokines and cardiac fibrosis.
Several members of the chemokine family play an important role in reparative fibrosis and are involved in the pathogenesis of remodeling following myocardial infarction. Chemokines may regulate the fibrotic process through recruitment and activation of mononuclear cell subsets and fibroblast progenitors (fibrocytes), by exerting direct effects on resident fibroblasts, and by modulating angiogen...
متن کاملMacrophage-mediated cardiac fibrosis.
Both clinicians and investigators have long tended to consider cardiac fibrosis as a hopelessly unavoidable “final common pathway” of tissue injury. We are painfully familiar with the serious consequences of myocardial fibrosis, including diastolic dysfunction and promoting reentry dysrhythmias,1 but we seem to accept that diseased myocardium eventually develops fibrosis. However, only the most...
متن کاملCardiotonic Steroids and Cardiac Fibrosis
It is well known and has been shown that patients who have chronic renal failure tend to develop and die of cardiac causes. These patients are known to develop a cardiomyopathy that is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy and significant diastolic dysfunction. It has also been shown that the chronic renal failure condition is characterized by significant sodium pump inhibition due to i...
