Abstract
Today, innate immunity is recognized as an important pathophysiologic factor and therapeutic target for cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). The innate immune system exerts its function via soluble and cellular components. Recently, function and kinetics of immune cells after MI have been clarified using new innovative technology. Therefore, herein, we will discuss the function of neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages in the pathophysiology of cardiac remodeling after MI in basic as well as clinical science.Entities:
