Pericarditis refers to the inflammation of the pericardial layers, resulting from a variety of
stimuli triggering a stereotyped immune response, and characterized by chest pain …

Inflammatory pathways drive atherogenesis and link conventional risk factors to
atherosclerosis and its complications. One inflammatory mediator has come to the fore as a …

The heart is extremely sensitive to ischaemic injury. During an acute myocardial infarction
(AMI) event, the injury is initially caused by reduced blood supply to the tissues, which is …

An intense, stereotyped inflammatory response occurs in response to ischaemic and non-
ischaemic injury to the myocardium. The NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein …

Over 1.5 million deaths worldwide are caused by neurocardiogenic syndromes.
Furthermore, the consequences of deleterious brain-heart interactions are not limited to fatal …

Plasma levels of the inflammatory biomarker high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)
predict vascular risk with an effect estimate as large as that of total or high-density …

Myocardial infarction triggers an intense inflammatory response that is essential for cardiac
repair, but which is also implicated in the pathogenesis of postinfarction remodelling and …

Abstract Treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has improved significantly in recent
years, but many patients have adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling, a maladaptive …

The recognition that atherosclerosis is a complex chronic inflammatory disorder mediated
through both adaptive and innate immunity has led to the hypothesis that anticytokine …

NLRP3 inflammasome is a key multiprotein signaling platform that tightly controls
inflammatory responses and coordinates antimicrobial host defenses by activating caspase …
