摘要
Background Myocardial fibrosis is one process of the various heart diseases, which leads to common pathological changes when it develops to a certain stage. It is the main cause of ventricular remodeling which eventually leads to different degrees of cardiac dysfunction, malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Many studies have shown that various cytokines play a very important role in the development of myocardial fibrosis. This paper reviews the latest researches on the role of cytokines in myocardial fibrosis.
