The Journal of Immunology Differential Effects of GM-CSF and G-CSF on Infiltration of Dendritic Cells during Early Left Ventricular Remodeling after Myocardial Infarction1 Kotaro Naito,* Toshihisa Anzai,2* Yasuo Sugano,* Yuichiro Maekawa,* Takashi Kohno,* Tsutomu Yoshikawa,* Kenjiro Matsuno,† and Satoshi Ogawa* Several lines of evidence suggest that the immune activation after myocardial infarction (MI) induces secondary myocardial injury. Although dendritic cells (DC) are potent regulators of immunity, their role in MI is still undetermined. We investigated the effect of DC modulation by CSF on left ventricular (LV) remodeling after MI.

Infiltration by DC was decreased in MI-G animals and increased in MI-GM animals compared with MI-C (p < 0.05). In the infarcted area, the heat shock protein 70, TLR2 and TLR4, and IFN-␥ expression were reduced in MI-G, but increased in MI-GM in comparison with those in MI-C animals.

The interplay of multiple pathophysiologic mechanisms, from genetic background to myocardial ischemia and fibrosis, is implicated in this process. Different patterns of LV remodeling have been recognized and are associated with a specific impact on the clinical course and management of the disease. These findings underline the need for and the importance of serial multimodal clinical and instrumental evaluations to identify and further characterize the LV remodeling phenomenon.

Local tissue inflammation is difficult to assess serially during pathogenesis. While 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) accumulates in inflammatory leukocytes which may identify inflammation in the myocardial microenvironment, it remains unclear whether this imaging technique can isolate diffuse leukocytes in pressure overload heart failure.

  • Pediatric and Adult Dilated Cardiomyopathy Represent Distinct Pathological Entities
    Pediatric and adult dilated cardiomyopathy represent distinct pathological entities Meghna D. Patel, … , Andrea Bredemeyer, Kory J. Lavine JCI Insight. 2017;2(14):e94382. https://doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.94382. Research Article Cardiology Pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most common indication for heart transplantation in children. Despite similar genetic etiologies, medications routinely used in adult heart failure patients do not improve outcomes in the pediatric population. The mechanistic basis for these observations is unknown. We hypothesized that pediatric and adult DCM comprise distinct pathological entities, in that children do not undergo adverse remodeling, the target of adult heart failure therapies. To test this hypothesis, we examined LV specimens obtained from pediatric and adult donor controls and DCM patients. Consistent with the established pathophysiology of adult heart failure, adults with DCM displayed marked cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis compared with donor controls. In contrast, pediatric DCM specimens demonstrated minimal cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis compared with both age-matched controls and adults with DCM. Strikingly, RNA sequencing uncovered divergent gene expression profiles in pediatric and adult patients, including enrichment of transcripts associated with adverse remodeling and innate immune activation in adult DCM specimens. Collectively, these findings reveal that pediatric and adult DCM represent distinct pathological entities, provide a mechanistic basis to explain why children fail to respond to adult heart failure therapies, and suggest the need to develop new approaches for pediatric DCM.

  • Left Ventricular Remodeling After Myocardial Infarction in Antecedent Hypertensive Patients
    293 Hypertens Res Vol.28 (2005) No.4 p.293-299 Original Article Left Ventricular Remodeling after Myocardial Infarction in Antecedent Hypertensive Patients Minoru YOSHIYAMA, Kimio KAMIMORI, Yoshihisa SHIMADA*, Takashi OMURA, Naoto KINO*, Hidetaka IIDA*, and Junichi YOSHIKAWA Antecedent hypertension adversely affects mortality and heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI). In addition, accelerated ventricular remodeling is a contributor to the increased mortality observed after MI. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of antecedent hypertension to ventricular remod- eling after MI. Ninety-four patients presenting with a first acute MI who were treated with reperfusion therapy within 12 h of their symptom onset were enrolled in this study. All of them underwent left ventriculography immediately after reperfusion therapy and again at 6 months after the occurrence of MI. Patients were divided into two groups: a hypertensive group and a normotensive group. End-diastolic volume index (EDVI), end-systolic volume index (ESVI), and ejection fraction (EF) values in the acute phase were com- pared to those at 6 months after acute MI in either group. The hypertensive group showed a significant increase in both EDVI and ESVI after 6 months, whereas the normotensive group did not. In addition, there was no change in EF in the hypertensive group, whereas EF increased significantly after 6 months in the normotensive group. As a result, the percent changes in ESVI and EF were significantly different between the hypertensive group and normotensive group. The results demonstrated that antecedent hypertension interacts with ventricular cavity dilatation after MI.

The elevated aldosterone in PA leads to left ventricular (LV) remodeling and dysfunction. In recent decades, clinical studies have demonstrated worse LV remodeling including increased LV mass and cardiac fibrosis in patients with PA compared to patients with essential hypertension. Several mechanisms may explain the process of aldosterone-induced LV remodeling, including directly profibrotic and hypertrophic effects of aldosterone on myocardium, increased reactive oxygen species and profibrotic molecules, dysregulation of extracellular matrix metabolism, endothelium dysfunction and 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: circulatory macrophages activation. LV remodeling causes LV diastolic and systolic dysfunction, which may consequently lead to clinical complications such as heart failure, atrial fibrillation, ischemic heart disease, and other vascular events. Adequate treatment with adrenalectomy or medical therapy can improve LV remodeling and dysfunction in PA patients. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of aldosterone-induced LV remodeling and provide an up-to-date review of clinical research about LV remodeling-related heart structural changes, cardiac dysfunction, and their clinical impacts on patients with PA.

  • Improvement of Left Ventricular Remodeling After Myocardial
    Chen et al. Journal of Translational Medicine 2013, 11:40 http://www.translational-medicine.com/content/11/1/40 RESEARCH Open Access Improvement of left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction with eight weeks L-thyroxine treatment in rats Yue-Feng Chen1,3, Nathan Y Weltman2, Xiang Li1, Steven Youmans1, David Krause2 and Anthony Martin Gerdes1* Abstract Background: Left ventricular (LV) remodeling following large transmural myocardial infarction (MI) remains a pivotal clinical issue despite the advance of medical treatment over the past few decades. Identification of new medications to improve the remodeling process and prevent progression to heart failure after MI is critical. Thyroid hormones (THs) have been shown to improve LV function and remodeling in animals post-MI and in the human setting. However, changes in underlying cellular remodeling resulting from TH treatment are not clear. Methods: MI was produced in adult female Sprague–Dawley rats by ligation of the left descending coronary artery. L-thyroxine (T4) pellet (3.3 mg, 60 days sustained release) was used to treat MI rats for 8 weeks. Isolated myocyte shape, arterioles, and collagen deposition in the non-infarcted area were measured at terminal study. Results: T4 treatment improved LV ±dp/dt, normalized TAU, and increased myocyte cross-sectional area without further increasing myocyte length in MI rats. T4 treatment increased the total LV tissue area by 34%, increased the non-infarcted tissue area by 41%, and increased the thickness of non-infarcted area by 36% in MI rats. However, myocyte volume accounted for only ~1/3 of the increase in myocyte mass in the non-infarct area, indicating the presence of more myocytes with treatment.

We aimed to investigate whether early changes to sacubitril/valsartan could improve out- comes in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in real-world practice. Materials and Methods: A total of 296 patients with nonischemic DCM who were treated with ARB or ACEI continuously (group A, n = 150) or had their medication switched to sacubitril/valsartan (group S, n = 146) were included. The sacubitril/valsartan group was divided into early change (within 60 days, group S/E, n = 59) and late change (group S/L, n = 87) groups. Changes in echocardiographic param- eters from the time of initial diagnosis to the last follow-up were analyzed. Results: Patients in group S showed greater left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic dimension (EDD) (group A vs. S, 61.7 ± 7.4 vs. Citation: Kim, H.-M.; Kim, K.-H.; 66.5 ± 8.0, p < 0.001) and lower LV ejection fraction (LVEF) (28.9 ± 8.2% vs.
