Chemokine-receptor Mediated Dendritic Cell and T-cell Recirculation in Heart Failure and Transplantation

Year: 2006

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by immune \nactivation in its chronic stages. By different forms of cardiac dysfunction, \ninfiltration of failing human myocardium with effector leukocytes through \nlow-grade inflammation, leads to deterioration of clinical condition to endstage HF. The only available permanent therapeutic option for patients \nwith end-stage cardiac disease is heart transplantation (HTx). Allo-antigen \ndependent immune cell activation
