An exaggerated or persistent inflammatory activation after myocardial infarction (MI) leads to maladaptive healing and subsequent remodeling of the left ventricle. Foxp3(+) CD4(+) regulatory T cells (Treg cells) contribute to inflammation resolution. Therefore, Treg cells might influence cardiac healing post-MI.
