Pro/Anti-Inflammatory Cytokine Imbalance in Postischemic Left Ventricular Remodeling

Figure 1

In patients developing left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction (R, $n=20$) lymphomonocyte production of TNF-α in response to LPS was increased in comparison with patients not developing left ventricular remodeling (NR, $n=20$) and in comparison with controls on day 1 after reperfusion (*$P<.05$).
