Proinflammatory upregulation marks overload-induced remodeling in rats; hypothesis-generating for cytokine-targeted therapies in human HF.
Increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, along with macrophage infiltration, are associated with the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy and failure induced by chronic mechanical overload in a rat model.
