5 Preface Cardiac Fibrosis and Heart Failure: Cause or Effect? Cardiac fibrosis is the abnormal expansion of the cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) due to excessive ECM protein deposition, which occurs in most types of heart disease. It is widespread and is found in cardiac diseases including post-mi heart failure, hypertension and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Remodeling of the cardiac extracellular matrix has become a well-known modifier of cardiac performance and on-going or chronic wound healing is closely tied to heart failure. The cardiac ECM includes proteins that occupy the space between cells in the heart. Contractile myofibroblasts are those cells that not only express α-smooth muscle actin, but more importantly also exhibit formation of stress fibres, are the major players in the secretion and physical remodeling of matrix. Myofibroblasts facilitate connections from cell surface adhesions to the matrix itself, and progressive remodeling of the matrix and cellular connections contributes to heart failure. Fibroblasts (defined as fibroblastic cells without stress fibres) and myofibroblasts contribute to the normal maintenance of matrix, wound healing, and to the pathology of cardiac fibrosis. While limited wound healing is necessarily a good thing, the situation deteriorates in runaway wound healing or fibrosis, which is marked by progressive deposition of matrix proteins long after the acute wound healing phase is completed. In the early 1990s, and despite a widespread awareness of cardiac fibrosis, our interpretation of its role in heart disease had stalled at the concept of cardiac fibrosis as a being secondary result of disease, and not as a primary contributor to the development of heart failure. Since then, major advances in our understanding have allowed us to now identify cardiac fibrosis as being a primary and causal driver of disease. This may be thought of as independent of cardiac muscle cell injury. Thus a comprehensive treatise on this topic is well warranted. Jeffrey T. Wigle, Ian M.C. Dixon Winnipeg, v

13 About the Editors Dr. Jeffrey Wigle is an Associate Professor at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg,. His research focuses on the transcriptional pathways involved in regulating the growth and development of the cardiovascular system. He has characterized a number of transcription factors that are critical for the development of the lymphatic vasculature and the phenoconversion of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts. He is currently studying the transcriptional feedback loops that determine and maintain the fibroblastic phenotype. Dr. Ian M.C. Dixon is a Professor of Physiology and Pathophysiology at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg,. His research addresses heart failure following myocardial infarction and the contributing role of dysfunctional extracellular matrix in these hearts. He is also interested in mechanisms of fibroblast phenotype regulation, cardiac fibroblast Smad protein signalling as well as other signalling proteins that may oppose the fibrogenic influence of TGF-β 1 in health and disease. He has been engaged over the past 24 years in multidisciplinary research in cardiovascular matrix biology. xv
