Abstract excerpt
Myocardial extracellular matrix remodeling regulated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is implicated in the progression of heart failure. We hypothesized that MMP inhibition may modulate extracellular matrix remodeling and prevent the progression of heart failure. The effects of the MMP inhibitor BB-94 (also known as batimastat) on MMP expression, collagen expression, collagen deposition, collagen denaturation,...
