Corelation Between Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) And Troponin-I (cTn-I) in ST- Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and Non ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTEACS)

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is due to plaque rupture or erosion. Plaque rupture or erosion occurs because of the extra-cellular matrix destruction by an MMP (matrix metalloproteinase).
