Background: Heart failure (HF), which is caused by cardiac overload and injury, is linked to significant mortality. Writers of RNA modification (WRMs) play a crucial role in the regulation of epigenetic processes involved in immune response and cardiovascular disease. However, the potential roles of these writers in the immunological milieu of HF remain unknown.

- The study aimed to evaluate the levels of plasma matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP2) and -9 (MMP9) in patients with various types of coronary heart disease (CHD) to determine their potential as predictors for acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
- Researchers divided 118 patients into groups based on their conditions — ACS (including unstable angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction) and non-ACS (including stable angina pectoris and chronic total occlusion) — and measured MMP levels using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
- Results indicated that both MMP2 and MMP9 levels were significantly higher in ACS patients
