| Summary: | Abstract The relationship between heart failure (HF) and immune activation has garnered significant interest. Studies highlight the critical role of inflammation in HF, affecting cardiac structure and function. Despite promising anti‐inflammatory therapies, clinical trials have faced challenges, indicating an incomplete understanding of immune mechanisms in HF. Immune cells, which are key cytokine sources, are pivotal in HF progression. In this review, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the complex role of different types of immune cells and their cell subtypes in HF. In addition, the authors summarize the available targets and animal experimental evidence for targeting immune cells for the treatment of HF. Future research directions will focus on the roles of immune cells and their interrelationships at different stages of HF, aiming to develop more targeted therapeutic strategies that can achieve more precise interventions in the pathological process of HF. |
