Key Points

Abstract

Immunosuppressive effects of transferred Treg cells ameliorated cardiac damage and accounted for the improved electric remodeling independently of blood pressure-lowering effects. Our results provide new insights into the pathogenesis of hypertensive cardiac damage and could therefore lead to new therapeutic approaches that involve manipulation of the immune system.
