Matrix metalloproteinase-9 as an independent predictor of recurrence after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2017
Objectives: In this study, the serum level of matrix metalloproteinase-9 was studied as an independent predictor of recurrence after catheter ablation of a persistent form of atrial fibrillation. Methods: The study included 46 patients with a persistent

Matrix metalloproteinases in skin [PDF]

Experimental Dermatology, 1997
Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc‐dependent endopeptidases collectively capable of degrading essentially all extracellular matrix components. These enzymes can be produced by several different types of cells in skin such as fibroblasts, keratinocytes.

Matrix metalloproteinases at a glance [PDF]

Journal of Cell Science, 2004
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are one of the major families of proteinases that play key roles in the responses of cells to their microenvironment. Most notably the MMPs have the combined capacity to degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix.

Matrix metalloproteinases in emphysema [PDF]

Matrix Biology, 2018
Several studies have implicated a causative role for specific matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the development and progression of cigarette smoke-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its severe sequela, emphysema. However, the precise function of any given MMP in emphysema remains an unanswered question.

Prognostic significance of matrix metalloproteinase-7 in gastric cancer survival: a meta-analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The prognostic role of matrix metalloproteinase-7 in gastric cancer survival has been widely evaluated. However, the results are controversial. We aimed to set up a meta-analysis to reach a conclusion on the prognostic significance of metalloproteinase-7

The serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 level is an independent predictor of recurrence after ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation

Clinics, 2016
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether the serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 level is an independent predictor of recurrence after catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. METHODS: Fifty-eight consecutive patients with persistent atrial
