Numerous anti-inflammatory drugs have been tested in large animal studies of myocardial infarction (MI). Despite positive results, translation of anti-inflammatory strategies into clinical practice has proved to be difficult. Critical disparities between preclinical and clinical study design that influence efficacy may partly be responsible for this translational failure. The aim of the present systematic review was to better understand which factors underlie the failure of transition towards the clinic.
