Summary

CD 14 expression and monocyte cytokine production, both unstimulated and after LPS stimulation, are increased in moderate-severe CHF when compared with mild CHF, suggesting that circulating monocytes, possibly via increased CD 14 expression, may play a significant role in the immunologic dysbalance observed in advanced CHF.
