In this study, we tested the hypothesis that there is an interaction between neutrophils (N) undergoing NETosis and the activation of macrophages (Mf) in the myocardium of patients with heart failure (HF). Ventricular biopsies were examined from patients with HF due to dilated (DCM, n = 7), ischemic (ICM, n = 7), or inflammatory (InfCM, n = 7) cardiomyopathy, as well as from 5 control patients. Quantification of...
