What is the central question of this study? Can targeted ablation of cardiac sympathetic neurons suppress myocardial infarction‐induced adverse cardiac remodelling and left ventricular dysfunction? What is the main finding and its importance? Targeted ablation of cardiac sympathetic neurons significantly alleviated sympathetic remodelling and neuroendocrine activation, attenuated cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis and improved left ventricular function. Thus, targeted ablation of cardiac sympathetic neurons might have a beneficial effect on adverse postinfarction remodelling and left ventricular dysfunction.
