The homeostatic chemokine CCL21 predicts mortality in aortic stenosis patients and modulates left ventricular remodeling.

The homeostatic chemokine CCL21 predicts mortality in aortic stenosis patients and modulates left ventricular remodeling.

BACKGROUND: CCL21 acting through CCR7, is termed a homeostatic chemokine. Based on its role in concerting immunological responses and its proposed involvement in tissue remodeling, we hypothesized that this chemokine could play a role in myocardial remodeling during left ventricular (LV) pressure ov...
