Abstract:
At present ventricular remodeling (VR) is regarded as the main pathological basis of chronic heart failure after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and preventing VR after AMI is of great importance for the prevention of heart failure. Previously, it has not been paid enough attention to the role of inflammation and autoimmune injury during the process of VR after AMI. This topic was discussed in the paper and the treating strategies with Chinese and Western medicine were also explored.
