Brief description Cardiac fibrosis is a disease of the heart in which large amounts of collagen are deposited within the heart tissue. This leads to poor heart function and may also lead to sudden death due to arrhythmias (abnormal electrical pulses). This study sets out to define the role of substances called interleukins and special circulating cells called lymphocytes, macrophages and progenitor cells in the development of cardiac fibrosis.
