“…The GM-CSF receptor is also reported to be expressed on human cardiomyocytes (66). Additionally, GM-CSF induction in cancer patients aggravated LV dysfunction (67). Their findings suggest that G-CSF and GM-CSF directly affect LV function.…”

“…However, G-CSF therapy in unselected patients with acute MI did not lead to functional improvements beyond those achieved with conventional therapy. In addition, the administration of GM-CSF in cancer patients has been shown to transiently increase the LV end-systolic dimensions and decrease cardiac contractility [25], [26]. The lack of efficacy of G-CSF therapy in clinical trials may be due, at least in part, to its poor initiation and duration; such therapies are likely to be most beneficial during the early phase after acute MI.…”

“…Recently, we have reported that plasma GM-CSF levels were elevated in patients with ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and that this increase was associated with the degree of LV dysfunction and neurohormonal activation [21]. Another study demonstrated that GM-CSF administration in cancer patients reduced cardiac contractility [68]. Thus, GM-CSF itself might directly influence LV function in the postinfarction period following extensive myocardial injury, and closely correlates with the progression of chronic heart failure.…”
