Immune Cells, Inflammation, and Cardiovascular Diseases
CRC Press (Verlag)
978-0-367-45907-9 (ISBN)
Inflammation, once considered a physiological response to foreign pathogens, is now recognized as a crucial pathological player in the initiation and progression of several chronic diseases, including diabetes, obesity, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and many others. Considering that cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death in the United States and worldwide, the identification of critical inflammatory processes is of utmost importance to devising new immune-based therapeutics that can be added to existing regimens. This book provides detailed information on aspects of inflammation and the manner in which immune activation pathways affect the progression of cardiovascular diseases and the repair/regeneration mechanisms of underlying diseased tissues.
Key Features
Outlines the role that inflammation plays in cardiovascular diseases
Describes a paradox – neutralization of cytokines that contribute to cardiovascular disease does not show benefit
Summarizes research on a variety of processes and mechanisms contributing to cardiovascular pathology
Contributions from an international team of leading cardiologists and cardiovascular immunologists

Shyam S. Bansal is a a cardiovascular immunologist with expertise in the immune-inflammatory pathways of myocardial infraction and heart failure. His research endeavors focus on the elucidation of innate (macrophages and dendritic cell) and adaptive (T-cells) immune responses during chronic heart failure and the role of these immune cells in mediating pathological left-ventricular remodeling. He is particularly interested in deciphering the role of T-cell subsets and time-dependent phenotypic changes that these cells undergo during chronic HF. He is also interested in identifying and developing novel therapeutic strategies to reverse pathological changes in the immune cells for their bench-to-bed transition. Shyam S. Bansal is an Assistant professor in the Department of Physiology and Cell Biology at the Ohio State University. He received a PhD from the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology at the University of Louisville, Louisville, KY in 2011. Bansal's first post-doctoral training was in the Department of Nanotechnology at the Methodist Hospital Research Institute (09/2011-09/2012) followed by an extensive post-doctoral training (from 09/2012-07/2018) in studying the role of helper T-cells and Regulatory T cells in mediating pathological left-ventricular remodeling and ischemic heart failure.
