Article Synopsis
- Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of health issues and deaths globally, and the increased survival rates have led to more cases of ischemic cardiomyopathy, which often requires hospitalization.
- The inflammatory response in the heart during MI is crucial, with neutrophils playing a key role in inflammation and recovery, largely influenced by the enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO).
- Studies in mice showed that reducing neutrophils or inhibiting MPO improved heart function and reduced damage after MI, highlighting MPO as a potential target for future treatments to help prevent long-term complications post-MI.
