Toll-like receptors are the primary innate immune receptors and could, therefore, be a key link between cardiovascular disease development and the immune system. Here, Stefan Frantz, Georg Ertl and Johann Bauersachs review this exciting field of research, and explore the evidence supporting a role for toll-like receptors in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases.
