Some cells are critical to the heart’s recovery process after a heart attack.
Scientists from Northwestern University in the US have discovered that the body’s immune response is essential to the heart’s recovery after an attack. This was reported by ScienceAlert.
It was noted that in the process of “self-treatment” of the main organ in the body, macrophages play a major role. These are special cells capable of destroying foreign particles and dead cells. Macrophages are the first to help the heart, because they make a special type of protein – VEGFC.
“Our study shows that these immune cells, macrophages, travel to the heart after a heart attack and ingest damaged or dead tissue. And the VEGFC protein they make helps the heart recover properly. faster, “the researchers said.
As you know, in order to resume the work of the heart, damaged or dead cells must disappear.
Remember, scientists from University College London estimated the risk of heart disease progression and death in people with obvious problems with the cardiovascular system, depending on the daily dose of alcohol.
