Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Polymorphisms in Chronic Heart Failure: Relationship with Susceptibility and Long-Term Survival.

Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Polymorphisms in Chronic Heart Failure: Relationship with Susceptibility and Long-Term Survival.

Circulating levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) predict mortality and hospital admission in heart failure (HF) patients. However, the role of MMP-2 gene polymorphisms in the susceptibility and prognosis of HF remains elusive. In this study, 308 HF outpatients (216 Caucasian- and 92 African-...
