Abstract
⺠Haptoglobin deficiency impairs microvascular integrity after infarction. ⺠Haptoglobin prevents heme-induced oxidative stress and regulates VEGF/angiopoietin-1 balance. ⺠Haptoglobin deficiency impairs wound healing and proper scar formation after MI. ⺠Haptoglobin deficiency worsens both short- and longterm cardiac function and geometry.
