The mammalian heart contains a population of resident macrophages that expands in
response to myocardial infarction and hemodynamic stress. This expansion occurs
likely through both local macrophage proliferation and monocyte recruitment.
Given the role of macrophages in tissue remodeling, their contribution to
adaptive processes in the heart is conceivable but currently poorly understood.
In this review, we discuss monocyte and macrophage heterogeneity associated with
cardiac stress, the cell's potential contribution to the pathogenesis of cardiac
fibrosis, and describe different tools to study and characterize these innate
immune cells. Finally, we highlight their potential role as therapeutic targets.
