Abstract
Chronic treatment with etanercept in SHR resulted in favorable cardiac remodeling, but also had a positive inotropic effect and was associated with an upregulation of IL6. These findings indicate that chronic treatment with TNFα antagonists is not an effective treatment strategy and may aggravate heart failure in the long term.
