Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells promote granzyme B-dependent adverse post-ischemic cardiac remodeling

Immune cells contribute to adverse remodeling following myocardial infarction. Here the authors show in mice and pigs that CD8+ lymphocytes release Granzyme B in the infarcted heart leading to cardiomyocyte death, enhanced inflammation and deterioration of cardiac function.
