Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) is a condition resulting from clustered structural or functional cardiac disorder that reduces the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood. The impaired ventricular function can be attributed to unfavorable ventricular remodeling. Among the pathways that contribute to remodeling process, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) appear to be of particular...
