Treatment with anti-inflammatory proteins following heart attack shows promise to reduce the risk of further heart damage

Research into the protective effects of two anti-inflammatory molecules, transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF 1) and Heligmosomoides polygyrus TGM (HpTGM), following heart attack found that both proteins reduced the inflammatory response within the injured heart and reduced mature scarring. Anti-inflammatory therapy to treat patients following acute myocardial infarction is an exciting prospect that deserves further translational studies, report investigators.
