Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of selective matrix metalloproteinase inhibition (MMPi) while sparing MMP-1 on left ventricle (LV) remodeling in a pig model of congestive heart failure.
- Selective MMPi reduced LV peak wall stress and improved preload recruitable stroke work compared to rapid pacing alone, indicating potential benefits for heart function.
- Findings suggest that targeting specific MMP species for inhibition could be a more effective therapeutic approach for treating congestive heart failure.
