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

Figure 2

In patients developing left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction (R, $n=20$) lymphomonocyte production of TNF-$\alpha$ in response to LPS was increased in comparison with patients not developing left ventricular remodeling (NR, $n=20$) on day 3, on day 7, 1 month, and 6 months after reperfusion (*$P<.05$, **$P<.01$).
