Results showed that danshen ameliorates inflammatory injury via MD2/TLR4‐MyD88 complex formation and TLR4‐TRAF6‐NF‐κB signalling pathway in AMI‐induced HF (Figure 7), providing further evidence that TLR4 signalling cascade is an attractive target against AMI‐induced HF. This evidence concerns the gene TRAF6 and hydrops fetalis.
