Mast cells have been implicated as important in tissue remodeling and fibrosis. We investigated the effect of mechanical ventricular unloading upon myocardial fibrosis cardiac mast cell density patients undergoing left assist device (LVAD) implantation. Paired samples were obtained from 30 with end-stage cardiomyopathy at time LVAD implantation removal compared taken donor hearts. Tissue sections stained quantitated for (tryptase positive cells) was higher than that hearts (33.5 ± 3.6 SEM...
