Why the study?
Do immune alterations differ between ischaemic and idiopathic severe congestive heart failure compared to healthy subjects?
Do immune alterations differ between ischaemic and idiopathic severe congestive heart failure compared to healthy subjects?
Immune alterations in ischaemic versus idiopathic severe CHF remain unresolved versus healthy subjects; leaves open aetiology-specific mechanisms.
AimImmune activation in severe congestive heart failure (CHF) due to idiopathic conditions is a well-known phenomenon. The question remains: is it confined to a specific aetiology or is a disease-dependent derangement? We investigated immune alterations in ischaemic compared to idiopathic patients with CHF and healthy subjects.
