The heart is invested with a complex, intertwining network of blood
and lymphatic vessels which, respectively, provide the cardiac
tissue with oxygen and nutrients and eliminate excess fluid from
the interstitium. The coronary blood vessels have been the focus of
much investigation in the past few decades. On the other hand, the
literature regarding the cardiac lymphatic vessels remains sparse,
despite their important role in maintaining normal heart function.
With this in mind, a better understanding of the cardiac lymphatic
network and its ability to regulate fluid homeostasis within the
heart could give us insight into developing therapies for the
alleviation of several cardiac pathological conditions.
