The potential roles of Von Willebrand factor and neutrophil extracellular traps in the natural history of hypertrophic and hypertensive cardiomyopathy

Inflammation is often applied broadly to human disease. Despite its general familiarity, inflammation is highly complex. There are numerous injurious, immune and infectious determinants, functional elements and signaling pathways, ranging from genetic to epigenetic, environmental, racial, molecular and cellular that participate in disease onset and progression, phenotypic heterogeneity, and treatment selection and response. In addition, inflammation can be tissue and organ specific, adding a layer of complexity to achieving a detailed and translatable understanding of its role in health and disease.
