Objective:

To systematically map the interactive networks between immune cells and stromal cells during cardiac repair and fibrosis following myocardial infarction (MI).

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Heart failure post-MI is linked to complex interactions between immune and stromal cells.
    • Neutrophils exhibit dual roles in cardiac repair, influencing both inflammation and tissue damage.
    • The transition from essential repair responses to pathological fibrosis is governed by an imbalance in the immune-stromal network.
    Interpretation:

    Limitations:
    • The review does not provide specific clinical trial data or outcomes related to the proposed therapeutic strategies.
    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms of interaction and their implications for therapy.
    Conclusion:
