Research Article: CD8 T cells promote heart failure progression in mice with preexisting left ventricular dysfunction

Date Published: 2024-09-11

Abstract:
Introduction: Even under the standard medical care, patients with left ventricular (LV) failure or heart failure (HF) often progress to pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy. We previously showed that inflammation and regulatory T cells (Tregs) modulate HF progression in mice with preexisting LV failure. The main objective of this study is to determine the role of CD8+ T cells in modulating LV failure and the consequent pulmonary inflammation and RV hypertrophy in mice with preexisting LV failure.
