Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inflammation in Heart Failure, edited by W. Matthijs Blankesteijn and Raffaele Altara, is the first book in a decade to provide an in-depth assessment on the causes, symptoms, progression and treatments of cardiac inflammation and related conditions. This reference uses two decades of research to introduce new methods for identifying inflammatory benchmarks from early onset to chronic heart failure and specifically emphasizes the importance of classifying at-risk subgroups within large populations while determining the patterns of cytokines in such classifications. Further, the book details clinical applications of the pathophysiological mechanisms of heart failure, diagnosis and therapeutic strategies. Inflammation in Heart Failure’s breadth of subject matter, easy-to-follow structure, portability, and high-quality illustrations create an accessible benefit for researchers, clinicians and students. Presents updated information and research on the relevant inflammatory mediators of heart failure to aid in targeting future translational research as well as the improvement of early diagnosis and treatment Provides research into better understanding the different inflammatory mediators that signal the underlying diseases that potentially lead to heart failure Contains 20 years of research, offering a brief overview of the topic leading to current opinions on, and treatment of, heart failure Provides a structured, systematic and balanced overview of the role of inflammation in heart failure making it a useful resource for researchers and clinicians, as well as those studying cardiovascular diseases

Download or read book Clinical and Experimental Observations on the Inflammatory Response Following a Myocardial Infarction written by Ellis Nicoline ter Horst and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a myocardial infarction (MI), ischaemia damages the myocardial tissue distal to the occluded coronary artery which then culminates in apoptotic or necrotic cell death of the affected cardiomyocytes. This immediately triggers the immune system to eliminate and replace the damaged cells with scar tissue. Accumulating evidence emphasize that an exaggerated post-MI immune response directly negatively affects the prognosis after MI. The studies described in the thesis of Ellis ter Horst aimed to clarify the important aspects of both the innate and the adaptive immune system following MI in clinical and in experimental settings. This elucidated several promising aspects by which monocytes, macrophages, CD4+ T cells and also oxidative stress challenged cardiomyocytes could be modulated to beneficially improve post-MI cardiac healing and to diminish putative cardiac failure. This thesis also revealed that accurate intervention is highly dependent on timely modulation of the immune cells. The intervention should namely 1.) not interfere with the immune response required for proper healing but also 2.) should prevent detrimental aspects of the immune response that deteriorate post-MI cardiac healing. Future studies performed in MI patients should reveal which strategies, that ameliorated cardiac healing in experimental studies, are useful to translate into clinical settings. Hopefully, the studies described in the current thesis will contribute to the development new therapeutic targets which eventually diminish the development of cardiac failure in patients after MI.
