    1 Introduction
 
Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF{alpha}) is a multifunctional cytokine that has been implicated as mediator of diverse physiologic and pathophysiologic events. These processes include inflammation, cellular survival, growth, differentiation and apoptosis. The local homeostatic cellular effects of cytokines may be considered ‘autocoid’ in nature. This word is derived from the Greek words autos (‘self’) and akos (‘remedy’), and refers to locally acting, biologically active agents, both peptides and non-peptides, that are distinct from neurotransmitters and hormones [1].

Recent studies have highlighted the pathogenic role of TNF{alpha} in the development of myocardial disease, such as the direct correlation between serum TNF{alpha} levels and the severity and progression of heart failure [2–4] and the development of myocarditis in mice that overexpress TNF{alpha} specifically in the heart [5]. Taken together, these studies suggest that TNF{alpha} is a mediator of cardiac pathology, acting at least in part via inflammatory pathways and via . . . [Full Text of this Article]
