Although the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction (MI) is multifactorial, activation of innate immune system to induce inflammation has emerged as a key pathophysiological process in MI. NOD2, one member of the NOD-like receptor (NLR) family, plays an important role in the innate immune response. This study was to examine the role of NOD2 during MI.
