    NF-κB signaling plays a dual role in acute myocardial infarction, aiding early repair while promoting adverse remodeling with sustained activation.

  • 2

    Early NF-κB activation facilitates immune-cell recruitment and necrotic tissue clearance, essential for healing after myocardial infarction.

  • 3

    Prolonged NF-κB activation can lead to unresolved inflammation, cardiomyocyte death, and adverse ventricular remodeling.

  • 4

    Therapeutic strategies targeting NF-κB should focus on time-specific and cell-selective approaches to balance inflammation and repair.

  • 5

    Sterile inflammation in AMI is triggered by danger signals from necrotic cardiomyocytes, which can lead to excessive inflammation if unresolved.
