Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation following acute myocardial infarction: Multiple players, dynamic roles, and novel therapeutic opportunities.

TL;DR: An overview of the multiple players (and their dynamic roles) involved in the complex inflammatory response to AMI and subsequent LV remodeling is provided, and future opportunities for targeting inflammation as a therapeutic strategy for limiting MI size, preventing adverse left ventricular remodeling, and reducing heart failure in AMI patients are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune cells as targets for cardioprotection: new players and novel therapeutic opportunities

TL;DR: An overview of the immune cells involved in orchestrating the complex and dynamic inflammatory response to AMI are provided, including neutrophils, monocytes/macrophages, and emerging players such as dendritic cells, lymphocytes, pericardial lymphoid cells, endothelial cells, and cardiac fibroblasts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins as novel therapeutic targets for treating cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: The role of the mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins are reviewed as novel therapeutic targets for treating cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Innate immunity as a target for acute cardioprotection.

TL;DR: Evidence will be discussed that suggests agents targeting innate immunity may be a promising means of protecting the hearts of STEMI patients against acute IR injury and the dosing and timing of such agents should be carefully determined because innate immunity pathways may also be involved in cardioprotection.
