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

Figure 6

In patients developing left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction ($n=20$) lymphomonocyte production of IL10 in response to LPS was increased on day 3 and day 7 after reperfusion in comparison with day 1 (*$P<.05$). In patients not developing left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction ($n=20$) lymphomonocyte production of IL10 in response to LPS was increased on day 3, on day 7, 1 month, and 6 months after reperfusion in comparison with day 1 (***$P<.001$).
