Increase in plasma levels of bacterial endotoxins, such as lipopolysaccharides, results in the activation of proinflammatory signaling pathways such as TNF-α, which has been linked as an inducer of ventricular remodeling, and leading to heart failure (Bozkurt et al, 1998;Sivasubramanian et al, 2001).…”
