Abstract excerpt
Limited studies are available regarding the pathophysiological mechanism of acquired atrioventricular block (AVB). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of arrhythmia. However, the relationship between these molecules and acquired AVB is still unclear. One hundred and two patients with documented acquired AVB and 100 controls were...
