Targeted Deletion of MMP 9 Attenuates

Selected Abstract

Targeted Deletion of MMP-9 Attenuates Myocardial Contractile Dysfunction in Heart Failure
Summary Chronic volume overload (VO) on the left ventricle (LV) augments redox stress and activates matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) which causes the endocardial endothelial-myocyte (EM) disconnection leading to myocardial contractile dysfunction. VO-induced MMP-9 activation impairs cardiac ...
