The lymphatic vasculature has an essential role in maintaining normal fluid balance in tissues and modulating the inflammatory response to injury or pathogens. Disruption of normal development or function of lymphatic vessels can have severe consequences. In the heart, reduced lymphatic function can lead to myocardial oedema and persistent inflammation. Macrophages, which are phagocytic cells of the innate immune system, contribute to cardiac development and to fibrotic repair and regeneration of cardiac tissue after myocardial infarction. In this Review, we discuss the cardiac lymphatic vasculature with a focus on developments over the past 5 years arising from the study of mammalian and zebrafish model organisms. In addition, we examine the interplay between the cardiac lymphatics and macrophages during fibrotic repair and regeneration after myocardial infarction. Finally, we discuss the therapeutic potential of targeting the cardiac lymphatic network to regulate immune cell content and alleviate inflammation in patients with ischaemic heart disease. This Review summarizes the latest knowledge on cardiac lymphatic development, structure and function, discusses the role of the cardiac lymphatics after myocardial injury during fibrotic repair and regeneration, and highlights the therapeutic potential of targeting the cardiac lymphatics in myocardial infarction. The cardiac lymphatic vasculature appears during embryonic development and continues to mature structurally and functionally until late postnatal stages. Both venous and non-venous sources contribute to the lymphatic endothelium of the heart, and the identity of the lymphatic endothelial cells of venous origin is defined very early in development during specification of the embryonic mesoderm. In adult mice, the cardiac lymphatics respond to cardiac injury by sprouting within the damaged area in an attempt to clear the immune cells and excess tissue fluid (oedema). Drug-induced augmentation of the lymphatic response to injury improves heart repair and function in adult mice, suggesting that the lymphatics could be a possible drug target for myocardial infarction and for other diseases. The neonatal mouse heart has regenerative capacity that requires the presence of pro-reparative macrophages, which suggests an alternative function for the cardiac lymphatics during neonatal heart regeneration. Adult zebrafish can regenerate their heart after cryoinjury, and the lymphatics respond to the site of injury to clear infiltrating immune cells, a process that is essential for complete regeneration.
